[earlygirl]

its my ds b/d next week and he needs some new books
his big favourites so far have been-
10 little ladybirds
good nightsweet butterflies
usbourne touchy feely books

would like books with nice artwork and a good story that a 2 y o can follow
and maybe some with features like pop up books

if they are easy to find online( eg amazon)it would be a big help too

thanks I A

my nearly two year old ds who won't sit through most stories loves

brown bear brown bear what do you see?

it's all about colours and manages to keep his very limited attention,

he also likes finding the duck on any usborne books

His birthday is on saturday and I've bought him one called polar bear polar bear what do you hear,hope he likes that one.

I am looking forward to when he will have the ability to sit and listen to a proper story

he also loves the hungry caterpiller and anything that rhymes.

Ds is only just one, but here are the books we like (and that bear infinate repitition)

Click clack moo (first line-"Farmer Brown had a problem. His cows liked to type") Doreen Kanin
In the Night Kitchen, Where the Wild things are -Maurice Sendak.
All Dr Seuss but especially The Cat in the Hat comes back and Green Eggs and Ham
Jez Allborough - Duck in the Truck ("This is the duck driving home in the truck...this is the muck in which the truck is stuck...etc)

He likes also "Thats not my ...x" (tractor, teddy, bunny, fairy etc) but maybe at 2 will be too old.



Goodnight moon-ds sometimes gets the hint.

We've just got "Chicken soup with rice" (Maurice Sendak) and ds can't get enough of it. I think it is supposed to teach the months for slightly older children but ds just loves the rhymes and the pictures and wants to hear it over and over again.

Builder for a day, Firefighter for a day... very interactive with things to open and pull and good pictures..

Generally I love most things that Doring Kingsley do - good quality books with great photos and great gimmicks such as My first ABC book.
