I promised the kids that after we finished reading The BFG by Roald Dahl that I would buy and start reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Whilst I was in the bookshop I also noticed a buy-one-get-one-free offer on childrens classics. I bought Finn Family Moomintroll and Flat Stanley.
One of the great things about having young children is being able to read them the stories you enjoyed as a child. I have already got a copy of the following books from my childhood:
Where the Wild Things Are
The Elephant and the Bad Baby
The Quangle Wangles Hat
The Tiger Who Came to Tea
In the Night Kitchen
Others I would love to get hold of are Uncle Lubin, Bottersnikes and Gumbles and Fattypuffs and Thinnifers. I’m sure my parents have Bottersnikes and Gumbles at their house so I might borrow it when I go over next.
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.

Goodstuff…One of my childhood fave books, that I am looking forward to reading once bambino Rez arrives is Enid Blytons, The Farway Tree.
Not 100% valid, but there is an ad running currently on national radio advertising free books for babies, toddlers & 3 year olds. I am not sure, as I am usually driving when I hear the ad, and cant remeber long enough to have look on’t t’interweb when I get home, but I think its all on here:

Looks good!
Thanks for the link - i guess you can’t order them over the internet but get them from schools or libraries by the looks of it.
Enid Blyton? Are’nt they girls stories?
Then again.. it would explain alot about you.
