There has been research done about children who are read rhyming books from a young age perform better in reading and writing when they start school, it is to do with the ability to hear rhymes. So great books include anyting by Lynley Dodd, Dr Suess, my cat likes to hide in boxes, author escapes me, one of my favourites is Why dogs sniff bottoms, again can't think of author sorry. But also hould add that even if the book seems far to sophisticated for a young baby it is the rhymes they benefit from so hopefully that helps. There are so many great childrens books thou! ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:00:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30564&PID=887703&title=favourite-books-list#887703 <![CDATA[Favourite books list : Because of this list i got daniel...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30564&PID=884294&title=favourite-books-list#884294 Author: kebakat

We love us some Boo! (the Asquith & Good one) too. So cute when the baby starts going "bo!" while waiting for the Boo! in the book.

Her other current favourites are Peepo and The Very Busy Spider - for the animal noises. >.>

Helen Oxenbury books for the littlies - very simple rhymes that stick in your head but Daniel is enthralled by them

Just remembered my fav: The little mouse, the big ripe strawberry and the big hungry bear. (often just called the big hungry bear) - not many words but great pictures to get the conversation going.

I quite like Gordon Wilfried McDonald Partridge - its a lovely story (have always used if for teaching)

Love Giraffes Can't Dance too

Hmm there's a whole lot of books that DH and I had when we were little with that litte critter in them, titles such as "merry christmas mom and dad" and "just got to bed!" etc. They're fab.

And pretty much any golden book - we have heaps from when we were little that Jack loves.

Oh, and Jack got The Little Yellow Digger (Scholastic one) from DC for Xmas - it's great for a boy!]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:57:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30564&PID=874254&title=favourite-books-list#874254 <![CDATA[Favourite books list : yes Bizzy...kids ones...thats...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30564&PID=874233&title=favourite-books-list#874233 Author: peanut butter

I thought it might be useful to start a list of our favourite books. Maybe everyone can add to the list as they find a book they like and maybe if you like a book already on the list you can add x2 or x3 etc next to it.

My current favs are

Giraffes Cant Dance
Snuggle up Sleepy ones
Gruffalo
