The best childrens bookcase has

[DearGirl]

I have been tasked with making a children's library for a 6 month old to grow into.

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

All those you mentioned plus, classic fairy tales , the happy ever after series (both mine loved them, short and funny), brown bear brown bear, the big, big sea, Humphrey books, that's not my....books, spot, the gruffalo, the troll, where the wild things are, the enormous crocodile.

365 Penguins

Needed to add.
Quentin Blake.
Micheal Rosen
And for older children Michael Morpurgo.

The King of the Copper Mountains by Paul Biegel.

It's a lovely 'chapter a night' book, we have just begun to read it again for the fourth time, when DS1 was tiny my MiL gave us her copy which she had read to DH and his 3 siblings. This made a big impression on me at the time as I only had bedtime stories once I was able to read them myself

I've just read the reviews for the Elephant and the Bad baby

We've got the little Penguin editions of classics like Chicken Licken, Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood - they're fab!

The monkey with the bright blue bottom

I thought ... "been nailed to the wall so it won't fall over when the toddler climbs it" :o

A selection of "That's not my..." books for the first 12-18 months
You Choose
The Night Pirates
The Gruffallo and a few other Julia Donaldson picture books
Mr Men books
Pippi Longstocking
Paddington
The Mr Gum Series

HappyDog those reviews you link to are hilarious! The Elephant and The Bad Baby is also a favourite here - my 3 year old can recite it with the pictures as prompts, and I usually just say a few words and he completes the page :o
