Guest Mrs Tiggy Winkle

Ok well lots of my favourites are gone but I don't think we've had... and I know Maz will be along to berate me if I'm wrong :o -:

 

You Choose - great for a wide age range to share at different levels

The Little Go To Sleep Book - don't know if it's even still in print but it was my little girl's very best favourite of all time! (and she's 20 now!!)

and... Farmer Duck - when ever I'm having a bad day I refer to it as a Farmer Duck day, cos of the line that says '.... the poor duck felt sleepy and weepy and tired.'

Both already there Sue! Would you like two more? :(

 

Opps, did I not read the instructions properly :o

 

Just looking back most of my other favourites are also there.

 

I should add the Big red apple maybe, not because I really like it but we used to laugh when the children asked one of my colleagues to read it because she hated it :(xD:(

Apologies for 'hijacking your post Maz but I am desperately trying to find some books to encourage children to look after and tidy away their toys. The only one I can think of is Tidy Titch' and wondered if anyone could suggest any more whilst listing their favourites!

Thanks xD

I'm sure I've got one at school - will look tomorrow :o

So sorry inge :( this thread is becoming competitive :o

 

Loads of fab books already mentioned, but I do enjoy reading 'The Gingerbread Man' a bit of an 'oldie'

but hey, maybe just showing my age xD

 

dottyp

 

 

Its just one i really enjoy, we have a tape with the story and music, when we play just that the children cannot stop themselves acting the story as they listen...

 

and no one has mentioned other classics...sign of the times? But we do read them all the time....the children enjoy them

Have been reading this post and 2 off my favourites are already gone!!! Shhh! about creeping round the giants house and Aliens love underpants!!

 

Have been thinking long and hard about a further 3 and here they are:

 

1. Dinosaurs love Underpants

2. Smelly Bill -

3. No David!!

 

To be fair they are my personal favourites, especially smelly Bill as it gives me the chance to put on a posh voice and sing rather annoyingly which always has my son in stitches.

 

I have read No David to the children in my setting and it got them thinking and became quite a conversation piece. There are very little words in it but the pictures speak for themselves. The children can identify what David is doing and that he shouldn't do those things and I have also asked what his mum thinks as she keeps shouting No David!! They can relate to it as well, as one little girl told me "I climb on chairs to get biscuits just like David!!"

 

I particularly like the ending as it shows his mum giving him a hug and telling him she loves him, even though he has spent the day getting up to all sorts of mischief and making her cross (the childrens' words not mine!!)
