Kate how funny you mentioned the Mem Fox books, i LOVE her kids books and she has one called HELLO BABY, was thinking maybe i could sneak in 2.. Hello Baby & Ten Little Fingers, Ten Little Toes ?? would that be wrong of me.. i can say 1 book is from me and 1 is from the girls?

We have 'Hello Baby' too! One of mates had a similar book theme for her Baby Shower and it was so cool reminiscing over all the different kids books.

Ohh i can't remember what it was about, can you bring it tomorrow for me to have a quick peek.. see if it's what i want?

[HotI]

Will do. It's not my fave Mem Fox book but its ok.

I think you just listed every one of my kids' favourite books

I remember Peepo - not from when I was really tiny, but my younger brother had it and loved it!

My favourite book when I was a kid was called 'Ice Creams for Rosie' - I went looking for it for my kids and it is out of print now

Sorry ZF, probably not overly helpful to you. I think you should pick a book that you remembered and you loved and that you can find in print. There are lots that are not available now. I think giving books as baby shower presents is a GREAT idea! Books are expensive, relatively, and it is such a good way to get a nice little library started.

I loved Mem Fox when i was little, loved Possum Magic aswell which is a always in print
Hmmm might have to troll my way through some book stores and find something that jumps out at me.
Do they still do gumnut baby books?

putting that poem in the front of a book might be a bit much hun - maybe make the card one without a pre printed message and put it in there instead

i am hoping to get DD Possum Magic for a present at some point - love books like that! don't think she's had an "event" where a large part of her gift from us hasn't been made up of books! her book shelf is looking enviable (at least her books are unpacked - ours are still in tubs!)

I LOVE books as a present and think it's an AWESOME idea for a baby shower, i have a couple of weeks so will keep my eyes open, Thanks for letting me look at Hello Baby.. i think it's quite cute & appropriate for a baby shower

What a brilliant idea!! Wish I had thought of that.

I love ten little fingers, ten little toes. Gorgeous book.

Books like Possum Magic are so so popular. Maybe Koala Lou instead? If she gets multiple copies of Possum Magic, all inscribed, she's stuck with them all!!

Paddington? Animalia for when bub is a little bit older? Meg and Mog books are around again too.
