How many fucking books are there? I had to read "That's not my truck" last week. "That's not my truck. It's sides are to ridgey". WTF! £5.99 for 5 pictures of things with fun fur or something on them? They're taking the piss! "That's not my hamster". Seriously! Where's the plot?!

Coming soon:

That's not my poo. It's sides are too glittery.
That's not my poo. It's top is too floaty.
That's my poo. It's tail end is so sweetcorny!

£5.99. Angry

I picked some up from the charity shop and the library had a sell off of books - it doesn't feel so bad when they cost 10p each.

DD loved them so much we had English and French ones! The French translation seemed to miss the point and were so unbearable I had to re-translate them Blush

How about:

That's not my car, it's exterior is too shiney.
That's not my car, it's seats are too clean.
That's not my car, it has no smelly banana skins in the back.
That's my car, it's sooo messy.

We got a box selection of eight books. 'Thats not my aeroplane' is the worst, DS loved it. 'That's not my kitten' still gives me nightmares. he's now too old for them thankfully but we are hoping to have another child (if we are lucky and can) and I'm not sure I could cope with another lot of reading and saying 'That's not my elephant!' Or whatever.

We've got the mermaid one.

'That's not my mermaid, her mirror is too shiny'

It would be possible to bloody well swap mirrors, it wouldn't be rocket science. And who owns mermaids anyway? Is this some kind of weird aquatic slave trade?

The trippiest one was that's not my polar bear. They all looked pretty much identical. Also, not an animal well suited to being a pet.

Dh also always used to point out that using accessories (bumpy hair comb, or whatever) is not a very reliable way of recognising someone (e.g. a mermaid), as they can be removed/swapped etc.

Loving these. We have a few 12 and rather than reject them at bed time for being too short ds2 asks for two. Half of them were dd's so it's been 9 years of the same bloody books.

I thinks all yours are fantastic! Grin
