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!

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
