Our favourite kids books!

Here are the all time favourites in our house:-

1) Hooray for Fish by Lucy Cousins

Beautiful pictures and lovely story!

2) The Chimpanzees from Happy Town by Giles Andeae and Guy Parker

I have read this book so often I can recite it by heart! There was a town not far from here called Drabsville USA....

3) Ten little fingers & Ten little toes by Mem Fox and Helen Oxenbury

I love the message in this book.

4) The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter

I must say it does surprise me that my littlie loves this book so much as the language is quite outdated and formal. I guess it is the timelessness of the story, and wonderful illustrations that capture her imagination.

5) Babykins and his family by Richard Scarry

This book was first published in 1976 - another classic! I love Richard Scarry - his humour is wonderful!

6) What do People Do All Day? by Richard Scarry

Yes, another Richard Scarry because we love his books so much. In fact we could include any in here but these 2 are firm favourites.

7) Milly-Molly-Mandy

So I do admit to putting this on the list myself as they were my favourite books as a child! My littlie hasn't really gotten into the stories yet, but I'm positive she will! So happy and wholesome, what's not to like about Milly-Molly-Mandy and her Little Friend Susan and the nice white cottage with the thatched roof!

8) Olivia

Olivia may not be as wholesome and chipper as M-M-M but she's super fun and written with great wit! We love her books and her TV shows!
