Some Favourite Children's Books

Ethan looooooves to read. I buy a lot of Ethan's books from thrift stores, but most of our favourites where bought new. Here are some of our current favourites.

"Lost and Found" by Oliver Jeffers. About a boy who finds a penguin and tries to take him home to the south pole. This book is a gorgeous blend of watercolour and acrylics. The story is a little complicated for Ethan to completely understand just yet, but parents are sure to love this one too.

"Time for Bed" Written by Mem Fox, Illustrated by Jane Dyer. Lovely bedtime book about baby animals going to sleep.

"Gossie and Gertie" by Olivier Dunrea. Lovely and funny story about some little geese who are best friends. There are quite a few books by this author about his little geese charactors. We bought the box set.

"How Loud is a lion" by Claire Beaton. Gorgeous illustrations all done in felt and fabric applique with buttons and beads. I have read this one to Ethan so much I thing he is bored of it now! I want to buy some more of her lovely books.

"Mr McGee and the biting flea." By Pamela Allen. I love her stories and illustrations. This one has made Ethan laugh from a very yound age.

"Look at you, a baby body book" Written by Kathy Henderson, Illustrated by Paul Howard. Everything about this book is perfect. The babies are so realistic and characterful they look like children we know in real life! The prose is rhythmic and easy to remember. I often recite bits of this book as I change Ethan or attempt to trim his fingernails...
