I need to replace The Hungry Caterpillar. My 2 yr old mindee ate chunks out of it whilst I had him sat in the high chair so I could go to the toilet. My risk assessment was not too good there and so I have updated it.

Unfortunately my ds favourite books at the moment are the new Welsh ones I have bought. Only problem is I am still learning to pronounce the words. Mindees and dd think it is really funny to watch me struggling.

We like a book called munch, the kids love it and i bought them each a copy for christmas, also i got hold of the lady who wrote the book and she wrote a little email letter to the boys which was really lovely.

And the gruffalo i love that.

Oh and have any of you seen the book called the jolly postman it is grat its all about a postman delivering letters to people in fairytales and you can open the envelope and see the letters it is so sweet

Our favourite books at the moment include:

Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Bad Tempered Ladybird
Bear Hunt

But my favourite is:-

Watch out big bro is coming! - I love this book...it is about a mouse who tells all the other animals (frogs, elephants, monkeys, birds, rhinos etc) that they have to watch out because big bro will be coming soon and that he is rough and tough and really big. By the end of the story all the animals are quaking in their boots about this big bro and all of a sudden he comes out of the trees and it turns out that big bro is a mouse but obviously bigger than his little brother.......sorry to ramble on but I love the story

Mine is " The Tiger Who Came for Tea" and "Really, Really"
The kids never get fed up with them.

Our favourite at the moment is a set of books on road safety called Salman and Friends, the mindees love them, they are educational and best of all they were freebies
