**miss mopple** · 20-04-2011, 06:30 PM

Just chatting with DH (and arguing over who does the bedtime story for DD2

) 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

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
