Have sent dh out during his lunchtime to get Peepo.

DD (1) loves Dear Zoo and the 'that's not my...'series also hungry caterpillar. Currently they have to be 'doing' books (flaps/ touchy feely etc). but will enjoy working my way through this list as time goes on !!

Today's purchase Dirty Bertie is very good too, love the illustrations and I think DS2 is Bertie.

any books with holes in
