Could this be the one to knock Humphrey off the top spot?! Loving the sound of The Napping House. That sounds like my kind of house…

It’s going on the list! Mr / Miss books are brilliant, but Frog lacks attention for them at the moment.. And the others are definitely going to have to be investigated. The list is getting long!

I have so many books to suggest, but I’ll be nice and limit it to the four I’ve memorized from reading them too often (to the Boy, the Girl won’t sit still long enough to read a book):

Goodnight Moon (!!!)
The Napping House
Pajama Time (though must be read in a very enthusiastic manner)
Green eggs and ham (but I think Frog’s still too little for this one).

My favorite books when I was little were the Mr./Miss books with blobby quirky characters of a very specific nature. Many of my favorite kids books were actually books I found after childhood, though!

Current favorites:
Someday
Anything “Maisy”
Wherever You Are
Goodnight Moon (of course!)
Guess How Much I Love You (♥)

Li’l D’s earliest favorite was No, David!

Have tried it once and luckily Frog lost interest (unlike when the TV programme is on!) so haven’t had to read it again. Yet.

I have been finding them all in charity shops and building up a collection for Iyla but the only thing she will sit through is In The bloody Night Garden! I might have to try some of your suggestions though as I am so sick of hearing about Iggle Piggles lost blanket!

I am your new ‘follower’ by the way! :-)
