Kate, Bear Hunt is by Michael Rosen + Helen Oxenbury. Rachel has brought it home this week from nursery!
The That's Not My...series are fab, Rachel still loves them now. We have about 8 of them and her fave is Mermaid!

Expresso Tales - Alexander McCall Smith
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings - Maya Angelou

My daughter loved these too, and when she got a bit older they were one of the first books she could read by themselves, and she loved reading them to my friends 2 yr old! |

Glynis, take this off your wishlist! I posted on your bookshelf wishlist ages ago (dozy mare...  !) that you can have my unread copy. I'll bring it to the book club Wed if I make it along, or otherwise to our Wakefield meet...

I have been very naughty and bought a book that was on my wish list today. It was a bargain find in a charity shop and I couldn't resist, so apologies to my secret Santa if any inconvenience has been caused.
