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!

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
