DD has a lot of books, but her current favourites are the Hairy Maclary series, especially Scattercat and Showbusiness. Her first favourite book as a baby was I Know A Rhino. She loves Playmates and The Waterhole. Good Night Me is a good one for bedtime.

Big sellers where I worked were Pamela Allen's books, starting with Who Sank The Boat, and then onto things like Mr McGee. Mem Fox is also a good one with Where Is The Green Sheep (which I wasn't a fan of but kids loved) and Koala Lou. John Butler books are great too - If You See A Kitten was a nightly read here when DD was really little.

Anything that has a rhyme at the end, that the kids can predict works really well (ie - I know a rhino, he likes to take tea. I have two sugars and rhino takes three). We wouldn't read the final word and DD would scream it out. Books are lots of fun here

I guess you could say that these are favourites of mine too - seeing as I bought 99% of them while I was working before she was born. I had visions of having a child that hated books
