So what books would you include on the best children's bookcase

Off the top of my head; I am thinking

Jolly Postman, Each Peach Pear Plum, Dear Zoo, Dr Seuss, Hungry Catterpillar Peepo, We're going on a bear hunt, the little engine who could, The rainbow fish, paper bag princess, gruffalo

Stomp, Dinosaur Stomp
Brown Bear, Brown Bear
Shirley Hughes nursery collection
Wow said the Owl
Goodnight Moon

Beatrix potter.
Shark in the park
Lost and found - Oliver Jeffers

The owl who was afraid of the dark (you can get the shortened version as well as the full version, so better for younger kids).

Dr Seuss, green eggs and ham, cat in the hat, oh the places you'll go.

The velveteen rabbit for older children.

Don't let the pigeon drive the bus
Little Red Train - Benedict Blathwayt
The elephant and the bad baby

You're all my favourites

Jim and the beanstalk.

When he's older every child needs to read Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nihm and Black Beauty.

I'm a little biased .... but here is good selection.

What about a Christmas book? The Polar Express or The Night Before Christmas
