Just chatting with DH (and arguing over who does the bedtime story for DD2 :laughing: ) and he asked me to ask what your top 5 stories to read to the mindees are?

Will share mine when you have shared yours :p

The mindees have one favourite which appears every time they are sent to the bookcase to choose a book - Flora's Blanket ... my own kids all loved it as well - its very simple but for some reason goes down well.
Next would probably be Snow Bear - its a large book with touchy feely bears. Then Wiggly Wiggly Caterpillars
Beetle Boy
Mucky Ducky

Never heard of The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and the BIG Hungry Bear will have to look out for that one.

My faviourites are
Monkey puzzel,
Mervin mouse at the fair ( My copy my nan read to me)
Its so unfair,
Dear Zoo
and Owl babies.

I remember a book I loved but I can't remember the name of it. It was a mouse who left her tea cup and went to the beach. She made a sand castle house, she then married a gypsy mouse. Does it ring a bell to anyone?
