Books for nephew - which ones?

Janepig

Another vote for Dear Zoo. And has anyone mentioned "The Gruffalo"? They read that in DD and DS's nursery and they loved it so much that we bought it. They also read things like Room on the Broom ("buzz off, that's my witch) and the like - basically anything rhyming.

GR, I like the sound of that Mr Seahorse book. We've got a book called "The father who had 10 children" (the title speaks for itself :rolleyes:) which our two love.

Look on the Bookpeople, they do tend to be slightly cheaper than Redhouse. Check discount board for a free p&p code

Dear Zoo was one of my boys favourites,there is a lift the flap version

Any Stephen Cartright books as they have the little yellow duck to find on every page as well as being great toddler stories.

Agree Dear Zoo has flaps and my 20 month old and her 4 year old sister love it. "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" is loved by my older daughter but the youngest is a bit young for it. Neither of mine like the "Hungry Caterpillar".

My youngest adores Fidgety Fish by Ruth Galloway, Hush Little One by John Butler (is a lovely bedtime story), oh there are so many!

Whatever you choose I'm sure he'll love it

I second cheese and tomato spider, its fab. Also Ketchup on your Cornflakes and Zoopermarket were also firm favourites with my little one.

At this time of year, definitely The Jolly Christmas Postman, full of flaps and letters tucked in pockets.

Also Peepo by Janet Ahlberg - mine all loved it as did I:D

my 2 year old loves most of the books already mentioned but i'd like to add 'calm down boris' has a big orange hand puppet, his nursary also read it to all the kids, its really funny to hear a whole room full of two year olds cheering calm down boris.

I'd second the Gruffalo! fantastic book; in fact julia donaldson's books are by far the best we've seen. amazon have 40% off quite a few right now.
