Hi Happy Maz :(

 

You've probably had enough of this thread but just thought of another book I used to enjoy reading in a previous nursery; 'Billy's Belly Button' - it's about a huge elephant that can't find his belly button because he has so many folds/wrinkles :o I must think about this story when I have a pile of easter eggs in the fridge xD

Great book and really made me think when I first read it-all mammals must have a belly button especially an elephant! Not in my collection but should be....

So here's today's list.... :o I had no idea I would get so many responses! I did wonder whether we could do a poll to see which is our all-time favourite book but I think that may not be feasible. :( I'm not sure if there is a list of books in the resources section, but I will do a bit more research (ISBNs, likely cost on Amazon etc) so that I can draw up a comprehensive list (and tick off which ones I've read and see which ones I'd like to buy! xD

 

Thank you all for your contribution - keep your ideas coming if you haven't posted!

Congratulations Maz. I read your post and then wrote my list. Then I read everyone else's posts and had to keep changing my choices. In the end I could only think of two that hadn't been mentioned, they are:

 

A squash and a squeeze.

Don't forget the bacon.

 

Just remembered another The enormouse turnip.

Great book and really made me think when I first read it-all mammals must have a belly button especially an elephant! Not in my collection but should be....

 

We have a very similar one called "We've all got belly buttons"

 

And my staff's favourite "There's a house inside my Mummy" about pregnancy

LOVE all these books plus.....

 

Bear (mick Inkpen)

 

Moles can Dance (Richard Edwards)

 

The Most Obedient Dog in the World (Anita Jeram)

 

My daughter's ALL time favourite when she was little was Bill's Belly Button by Anita Jeram. She'd always carch us out when we tried to skim over the pages and I think I may still be able to recite pages off-by-heart!!!!!!!!!!!!

I demand a recount! How many choices is Dotty allowed? :(:o

 

 

:( :wacko: xD Beau - just can't help myself - I went into work this morning and found myself looking through

the book rack. Didn't dare tell the staff what I was doing because they would think I'd finally lost the plot if I'd

explained this thread xD Would be interesting if Happy Maz has the record for the longest thread?? I wonder if

there is any way of finding out?? :(

As my favourite books have long since gone on the list

 

I decided to go with my 4 year old daughters instead

 

Ness the nurse

Count down to bedtime

You choose - really fires her imagination,

 

Well done Maz,

Posted

what a great thread, one of my favorites is called Edward the Emu i can't remember who it is by.

Just been on amazon to look for my favourite childhood book - apart from Little Black Sambo - which I still have and is terribly un-PC, I suspect - to look for 'Ant and Bee and the ABC' I had loads of these books and wish I'd kept them - just look at these silly prices!!!!!!!

I think dottyp you may have exceeded your choices by one!

 

And as for the longest thread, the 5th FSF birthday thread currently has 708 replies, so this thread is (fortunately) a long way from being the longest... now please don't take that as a challenge, lads and lasses! xD

Well at the risk of being too strict, I fear you would need to remove one of your three choices to make way for it, dcn. Otherwise Beau will complain again! :o

:( You could up the number we're allowed to 5. I'm sure you'd love it if we all came and added on a couple more books each. :o

Brilliant suggestion Beau but Maz will need to update her rules. Of course she can do this in the light of her evaluation of this thread, should she feel the need to revise her objectives as a response to our interest, and therefore develop our thinking...or summat. :o

What a great thread! I was searching for books with rhyming words and now have a hugh wish list of books that i want to buy.

 

Hope i'm not wrong but i don't think my favourite has gone - The fish who could wish - i love it

 

my husbands favourite - where the wild things are

 

and my classes favourite ( this week ) - When mum turned into a monster by Joanna Harrison

 

Those are my choices but have to say my class love The 3 Billy goats gruff maybe because its also my favourite traditional tale.
