Bloody Princess Poppy! So fecking cutesy wootsey, all 'Honey', 'Hedgerows Hotel' , 'Honeypot Hill'.... argh. I feel I've been fairly tolerant but I just can't stand this book. And of course, it is all my dd wants to read!!

(My mother bought it for her. Thanks to you mama!)

Any others I should avoid like the plague?

My ds1 LOVES Sandra Boynton, but I too was warned off the Doggies one by a pal who has been driven near insane by it. Am trying to keep him away from Thomas the tank engine, as I remember being bored rigid by them as a child.

Doggies by Sandra Boynton ... if I have to say "Woof...Yap, yap... Nnn, nnn, nnn..." one more time... grrrr. I've hidden it now.

Poor DS, he loves it.

I will happily read Goodnight Moon night after night. It's a fabulous book
