Anything Margret Mahy, Lynley dod or doctor seuss, or eric carle (hungry caterpillar etc)

They also love the books in the series of "if you give a mouse a muffin", "if you give a mouse a cookie" etc (very cute funny books)

There is another series called "daisy books" about a girl named daisy - we had one called tiger ways, which the girls liked, and another called "eat your peas" which was sooo funny cos all thru the book it would say "eat your peas Daisy" but we'd replace it with Ayja, because we have huge fights with her over eating peas.

We find lots of interesting ones at the library by chance.

We have just introduced the girls to Roald Dahl - I got georges marvelous medicine for $3 the other day and I ende dup reading the whole thing in 3 nights before bed - they loved it so much. I'm glad that they like his writing - I love him as a writer.

Ella current favourite is a book which has words and illustrations to 'Wheels on a Bus.'.....I have to read it to her several times a day and no matter where I put it, she manages to find it.

She also really like this musical pop-up book I brough for her- series is called Snappy Sounds.

Our favourites change all the time too. Current goodies are:

Vegetable Glue (even I love this one!)
We're going on a bear hunt
Arthur's Tractor (a fairytale with tractors and princesses)
Oh, The Places You'll Go (Dr Suess)

I generally just grab a handful of books at the library, flick through them to make sure there's a good picture/word ratio (too many words and DD1 gets bored, not enough and it's too simplistic for her) and we usually end up with at least one or two that she loves. She reads everything so I get lots of different books to keep up with the variety.]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 11:26:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19694&PID=455800&title=favourite-kids-books#455800 <![CDATA[Favourite kids books? : Keziah Hairy Maclary (Lynley...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19694&PID=455786&title=favourite-kids-books#455786 Author: Neeks

Michaela's like that too, on a Saturday morning while DH sleeps in I sit on the couch and she brings me book after book after book and I read to her until she gets sick of it.

At bedtime she only gets one story and she has to choose.  He favourites which she chooses from are "My cat likes to hide in boxes" "Beautiful butterflies" and the amazing machine books "Dazzling Diggers", "Amazing Aeroplanes" and "Roaring Rockets" (I really need to buy the rest of the series for her).

My 3 year old LOVES the book 'We're Going On a Bear Hunt'. Another one is 'Ten Wriggly Wiggly Caterpillars'.

Actually, I could list a heap of books, because he will want to read whatever he lays his little hands on, but those two are particular favorites. ]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:50:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19694&PID=455745&title=favourite-kids-books#455745 <![CDATA[Favourite kids books? : What are the current favourite...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19694&PID=455739&title=favourite-kids-books#455739 Author: Mikaela
