Books i don't remember rom when i was little, but Abby loves:
Ten little fingers Ten little toes
Where is the Green Sheep?
Peepo
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.
