This is a lovely animal alphabet book - it has feely bits inside and bits that move as well as a lovely poster. Lots of unusual animals too.


Although it's a harback it does have paper pages so care needed with an 18m old. Edited to say that I have just checked our copy and it has board pages so perfect for 18m old.

All the Rod Campbell 'lift the flap books are great, especially 'Dear Zoo' and 'Buster's Birthday'

Also, lovely book for toddlers and pre-school, 'Monkey and Me' It's a superb intoduction to rhyming and prediction skills

My 7 year old still loves Each Peach Pear Plum and Peepo - she finds something new in them every time she looks at the pictures


Wibbly Pig (esp lift-the-flaps) are also good


other good ones are the nursery rhyme books by Opie and Wells - lovely selection of rhymes and great pictures, but it looks like they may be out of print... http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Very-First-Mother-Goose/dp/0744560276 and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Here-Comes-Mother-Goose-Iona/dp/074455554X/ref=pd_sim_b_1


don't be put off by 'boys' or 'girls' labelling, unless it goes on about cars or princesses - parents will have to spend time with the book too and believe me the potential for boredom with talking cars or pretty princesses is HUGE


oh, and try to go for board books everytime with the under-3s - paper won't last!

how could I forget Owl Babies by Martin Waddell with pics by Patrick Benson? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Owl-Babies-Martin-Waddell/dp/0744531675/ref=pd_sim_b_7

or Can't you Sleep, Little Bear, also by Martin Waddell http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cant-You-Sleep-Little-Bear/dp/1844284913/ref=pd_sim_b_7


I could go on for ages - I'd better stop now!

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
