Inspire me: board books for a 6 month old?

[Shoegazer]

Any recommendations? Not the "Thats not my..." would rather have something rhyming and with lovely pictures.

[ByTheSea]

I have always like 'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell. It doesn't rhyme, but is repetitive in a way that babies and toddlers like.

Thank you, will look at that I seem to have unintentionally started 2 identical threads

"Frog and Pig" has been a big hit in our house. Also "Oh Dear" and "Dear Zoo".

[charchargabor]

Peepo is good, it rhymes and is nice and repetitive. It also has nice busy pics to talk about. Each Peach Pear Plum is also good, it's like an I Spy book.

[snowleopard]

"My Cow Book" (Jellycat) was a huge fave with DS from early on, and there's a whole series, My Dog Book, My Pig Book etc. They rhyme and have very bright pics, flaps and bits to grap - they are cloth not board, but they're great.

[snowleopard]

grap? grab

[kingfix]

Another vote for the jellycat 'my xx book' series. we had the ducklings one and it was dearly loved. Also each peach pear plum, peepo, we're going on a bear hunt, dear zoo.

[MamaChris]

not lovely pictures at all. but ds's favourite (6mo) is baby touch rhyme book

[MrsSprat]

Sandra Boynton. Barnyard Dance is fun very rhythmic and not as annoyingly transatlantic as some of her others - "hey yoooooooooo guyzzzzzzz"

[Mogsmum]

Peepo Baby! is great my DS still loves it and he's nearly 3! Baby Einstein do some great picture books which my DS loved at that age but they're not stories.

[halogen]

Little Fish was my daughter's favourite from very early on. Not rhyming, but it is a story and has lots of repetition plus lovely bright pictures.

[gladbag]

Each Peach Pear Plum
and
Dig Dig Digging
were both firm favourites with ds(both have lovely pictures and are rhyming stories)

I'd also recommend the Barefoot Books boardbooks (see here)

[MuffinMclay]

Goodnight moon

Hippos go Berserk

[thehairybabysmum]

Both mine absolutely love the Hungry Caterpillar....its thte holes in the pages i think, love sticking their fingers in.

[halogen]

Goodnight Moon is LOVELY.

[raramum]

another vote for Goodnight moon, and Good night baby is well loved by my seven month old. Wibbly pig is cute too.

[hana]

really, children at that age will love any book you sit down and read to them!

[Washersaurus]

Busters Bedtime is a fab little board book with loads of touchy feely bits and even has a tiny little book inside for you to turn the pages for Buster. Both my boys love it.

[Washersaurus]

sorry forgot the link Buster Bedtime by Rod Campbell

[flowerpotty]

Each peach, pear, plum
Peepo
Dear zoo

These were favourites of both my girls...and they still remember the words now (aged 6 and 3)!
