What books would you recommend? - and also brief outline of what the book is about and why you like it if that is okay?

dd is 3 /12 and loves the "Duck in the Truck" series. She knows most of the word off by heart coz they rhyme.. Trying to think what else she has - she has about 150 books. Anything Winnie the Pooh.

She adores the Nutbrown Hare book "Guess how much I love you".

She loves reading anything that has rhyming words or gives her the opportunity to count.

Have a look at the Book People website to get some inspiration.

I need to go and look at our shelf of picture books (which is in dd's room at the mo - she's asleep).

Ds always enjoyed books by John Burningham - I think at that age (he's only 6 now - it's funny how you forget, isn't it?)
