Guess How Much I love You? by Sam McBratney
A gorgeous book about a father rabbit saying goodnight to his son.
Parents often choose to read this book every night at bed-time so that it becomes a ritual for their child.
This is a lovely idea because young children love the security associated with rituals. They love knowing that the same thing will happen at the same time every night – it provides some structure for them in a world that can seem unpredictable and even a bit scary as they grow up.
Fuzzy Yellow Ducklings by Matthew Van Fleet
This book has become a bit of a modern classic for little ones.
On each page there’s a different coloured shape inset with a textured material – fuzzy, rough and so on. Turn the page and the shape is revealed to be part of an animal.
Different textures, shapes colours and animals and a surprise just over the page.
No wonder babies and toddlers love this book!
Where is the Green Sheep by Mem Fox
