I loved this book when I was little. I'm sure we had the paper version. But my 10 month old daughter now loves the indestructable board version. A must have.

Each Peach Pear Plum (Viking Kestrel picture books)

Such a lovely board book and in my opinion it's perfect for babies and toddlers of any age really.
It's especially good for reading before a daytime nap (or any winding down time) as the beautiful rhymes and gentle illustrations can be quite soothing.
My 2 year old daughter loves it and I highly recommend it.
Buy it and you'll soon see...it will come out from the bookshelf time and time again.

My kids, husband & I adore this book and never tire of it. We all know it off by heart and each of us has a favourite type of pants in the book. We have bought many copies to give as gifts and would thoroughly recommend to all. Caution - it is not the sort of book to read at bedtime when trying to settle your children down quietly as you cant help but shout and laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're now off to buy "More Pants"!!!!!!

Fox in Socks (Dr Seuss Green Back Books)
Best Selling > Books > Humorous Verse
by: Dr. Seuss

May 06, 2003
Dr. Seuss, the famous author of `The Cat in the Hat' and `how the Grinch stole Christmas', has written this masterpiece (which is tricky to say)!
Fox in Socks is a brilliant board for books and it is a book of crazy tongue twisters. It is a simple, sturdy book for babies of all ages (as it says on the back). Dr. Seuss is great if you want a laugh or you need some cheering up (although hit might frustrate you at times)!
In this book, there is a fox, Knox, chicks, Sue and Slow Joe Crow. ... Read More:

Now We are Sixty

by: Christopher Matthew

October 14, 1999
This is NOTHING like Milne.

Yes, it is funny, if you like puerile, smutty and sometimes weak jokes.
It has far more in common with Ogden Nash than Milne, but Christopher Matthew lacks Nash's talent.
Eccles' illustrations are excellent, and do remind one of Shephard's.

I am not yet sixty, but getting there fast, and am old enough to remember
the early editions of Pooh and company fondly.
The inside dust jacket review of my copy of 'Sixty' calls this an "affectionate ... Read More:

Few books I've read have made me laugh out loud ( the only other I can think of is "without feathers" by Woody Allen), this book will, if you read it on the train you'll get strange looks from other passangers.The plot may seem to jump from one thing to another but comes together in the end ,along the way there are some fantastic bits like the pub that has 2 prices for beer depending on which side of the border you are on, only Spike could think uo such an idea. Buy it and enjoy the mad ride.

Shark in the Park
Best Selling > Books > Humorous Verse
by: Nick Sharratt

February 01, 2007
I thought this would be a "baby" book as it was in board format in our library: but it isn't! Really fun rhymes "Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope, Is looking through his telescope" And very witty illustations. Good for directions too (left, right, up and down) which are repeated often.

It's good for predication too - getting my 3 yr old to think what the shape could be if it wasn't a shark's fin...

I'd say it was a good toddler read 2 1/2 to about 4 possibly. After that it may have a short shelf life apart ... Read More:

The Nation's Favourite Comic Poems: A Selection of Humorous Verse
Best Selling > Books > Humorous Verse
from: BBC Books

I sat in my local bookstore for a good half hour the other day just giggling at this book and recieving odd looks from other shoppers. This is great. OK, some of the entries are a little obscure, but I challenge anyone to read Roald Dahl's little red riding hood without smiling. Especially when it gets to "the small girl smiled, one eyelid flickered..." Pure Genius. This book is brilliant.
