I've got Guess How Much I Love You and Bunny My Honey, they're great!

I also did Tomorrow when the War began at school, but instead of making me like it it really put me off it big time! Too much analysis!

I've got the next one along from "Bunny, my Honey" here and Mum has "Guess how much I love you" for when we go up there.

I'm not so keen on the book I have here. It has a song. and I hate singing.

Jake loves the wheels on the bus. I've been at TCol all day and they have some great kids books - I got a picture dictionary is Maori, and a buzzy bee poster for colours and another one for numbers.....yah books!

For older kids I LOVE roald dahl. and for adults he has some pretty gruesome short stories.

Nathaniel and I loved reading Kiya "Elephant, elephant: A book of opposites" by Pittau and Gervais. It's this hillarious board book of elephant opposites like "Ripped" (elephant picture with a tear through the middle) "Fixed" (same elephant picture with selotape across the tear); "Full" (elephant outline full of water, with cork in bum) "Empty" (elephant outline with water round feet and dripping out bum); or "Boy" (elephant peeing from underneath) "Girl" (elephant peeing out backwards).

We got it out from the library in Hamilton, and want to get a copy ourselves one day.

lol Liz I love my Uni library as well, and spend hours in the childrens books sourcing books to read to my classes and always find at least five to bring home and read to Xanda. My favourites are Hurry up Franklin and all the Kapai the Kiwi books. Oh and the Little yellow digger.

Angie loves all the Mr and Little Miss books by Roger Hargreaves. They are only about $3 each and she has about 60 of them.
She also loves Roald Dahl. We read Charlie and the Chocolate factory together (I read a page, she reads a page) and she will sit down and read the twits by herself.

We got a really good deal and got 10 Dahl books for $40 from Whitcoulls which was awesome
