It's quickly become a favourite - I'd thoroughly recommend it :)<br><br>Like you I'm a big reader too. The books I remember best from my childhood are Beatrix Potter - Jemima Puddle Duck was my favourite; then as I got older I got into Roald Dahl in a big way.Lucy Quickhttp://www.perform.org.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803711858607651915.post-27994366935963109312010-02-17T19:39:32.000+00:002010-02-17T19:39:32.000+00:00Oh, I am big on trying to cultivate a book-happy c...Oh, I am big on trying to cultivate a book-happy child! :) I remember growing up, I met some kids (in teens and even early 20s) who would say they had never read a complete book! I thought that was so sad!!<br><br>As for kids books, I like a mix of old classics and modern ones too. There are some really great authors appearing on the children's literature scene right now! That said, we love Charlie & Lola (i have a 4-year-old daughter, so that one might be a given!), The Fantastic Mr Wani, Room on the Broom (and really anything by Julia Donaldson. I find reading her books out loud are somewhat fun!)... and for the littlest ones, I love the Pat the Bunny series. Oh and anything by Eric Carle. So good. <br><br>I like what you say about getting wrapped up in a story. My ideal night is curling up with a good book and a chocolate brownie. :)Urban Mumshttp://www.urbanmums.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803711858607651915.post-32733790961717314752010-02-18T21:25:59.000+00:002010-02-18T21:25:59.000+00:00We are also big fans of Julia Donaldson - I'd ...We are also big fans of Julia Donaldson - I'd recommend everything of hers especially 'Monkey Puzzle' and 'Snail & the Whale'. 'Where's Spot' is my Youngests current fave. And the ones with memories from my childhood; the Ahlbergs 'Each Peach Pear Plum' and 'Peepo'. 1 year old is when the world of books starts getting a bit more interesting for Mum!Natural Mummyhttp://naturalmummy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803711858607651915.post-78011709792555278442010-02-19T09:55:48.000+00:002010-02-19T09:55:48.000+00:00Thanks for your recommendations!
