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!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
