mog is lovely...

The Owl who was afraid of the dark..can't remember the author

so sweeeeet !

Oh Lulumama,I love that book ! It reminds me of my mum reading it to me.DS loves it now

I do not know how young you are aiming it at but I love Shirley Hughes books for the illustrations alone.

Margaret Someone - Is The Runaway Bunny the other one, Otter?
My new favourite picture book is That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown by Cressida Cowell.
Also I love all Helen Cooper's books.
And The Little Cat Baby by Allan Ahlberg.

true- i moddle my home and (honestly) garden around alfie and annie-roses

Oliver Jeffers books How to catch a star and Lost and Found are lovely and DS 2yr loves them. Also the elephant and the bad baby as long as you don't analyse it too much)

I do not usually spend that much on toys/clothes for the dcs but my real weakness is books.you really can't beat sharing a good book.ds loves the Axel Sheffler/Julia Donaldson ones I love the rhyming language.I am really looking forward to when I can read them Roald Dahl,and Just So Stories and all the stuff I was really lucky to be read.Was talking to DP and his parents NEVER read to him.I love it cos he enjoys readng the dcs a bedtime story now.

Jez Alborough - always good particularly like Duck in a \truck

duncans treehouse

ahhh spider is fun

Have read "Dogs never climb trees" tonight to ds.Great rhyming language.Love these books!This one mainly features Scnitzel Von Krumm

Schnitzel, even,have had much wine!
