I can remember eating pavlova or vegemite sandwiches and wondering whether there was a chance I could turn invisible. Miss 6 however loves Shoes from Grandpa, she is partial to anything to do with Grandpa's though since hers passed. This book however had such an impact on her that last year for her birthday all she wanted was shoes like what Jessie in the book got from Grandpa.Rhianna https://www.blogger.com/profile/08015224038142499324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909604982682336121.post-76887733374107100002013-01-11T14:51:16.563+11:002013-01-11T14:51:16.563+11:00My favourite would be the classic Possum Magic, bu...My favourite would be the classic Possum Magic, but Zeb luurrrvvves Where is the Green Sheep? He recites it to me and runs away for the far sheep and sticks his head in my face for the near sheep - I love it - it has helped him learn a lot of verbs and adjectives (god, I'm a nerd ;)) <br /><br />Bossymummy@bossymummy.comBossy Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17640323113034714252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909604982682336121.post-2807039891180669642013-01-02T20:54:17.457+11:002013-01-02T20:54:17.457+11:00We are big fans of Hello Baby.

My children adore putting their hands on the baby's hand and getting me to put my hand on the mother's hand... and the last line 'Are you my treasure?...<br />the answer is yes!' is just so precious. <br /><br />Thank you for commenting on my blog the other day - sorry it's taken me so long to reciprocate. What a pleasure to be here. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792458456135563307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909604982682336121.post-28284054839910656632012-12-31T11:57:50.268+11:002012-12-31T11:57:50.268+11:00I love books!

And Toddler C does too. <br />If he comes up to me with a book, I will drop whatever it is that I am doing and I will read to him...we both love the words and the cuddles!<br /><br />I hadn't heard of Mem Fox until someone gave me The Green Sheep at my baby shower.<br />I was immediately smitten and so started reading it to Toddler C almost daily.<br />I love that it has been such a constant in his life that he now knows almost all the words...he loves pointing at the different sheep and I love seeing that chubby little finger work its way through the pages!<br /><br />Mother Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646925050489695536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909604982682336121.post-75880910655851249092012-12-29T19:49:43.521+11:002012-12-29T19:49:43.521+11:00We love "10 Little Fingers, 10 Little Toes&qu...We love "10 Little Fingers, 10 Little Toes". I remember when I was about 6 months pregnant and read it in a bookstore. I cried a fountain, it was so adorable and cute.<br />And oh yes, I remember Trixie Beldon books! She was so feisty, eh? :) xGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191888392393911765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909604982682336121.post-8513526796101621002012-12-28T23:20:51.481+11:002012-12-28T23:20:51.481+11:00We have always adored Possum Magic in this househo...We have always adored Possum Magic in this household. That most special of books, tied in with our own breakfast favourite vegemite, always gets my toddler trying out her words and sharing the story. Mem always creates magical moments with her books in this house. I didn't know there was a new book, can't wait to read it.Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854102089354619161noreply@blogger.com
