Kate over at Kate Takes 5 has come up with a brilliant listography this week and having seen some other entries, I felt compelled to join in myself. This week we have been asked to put together our Top 5 Children Story Books.
Burton loves books, I often find him looking at some on his own or he will bring them over to me and I will read them to him. I have been reading him stories since he was a few weeks old,
and he often prefers books to his other toys, which is fine by me!
So here are Burton’s 5 Favourite Books (for now)
1
I know this book off by heart and can recite it in the car in emergency situations! It’s a great rhyming story about how in doesn’t matter if you don’t fit in with everyone else, just be yourself and you too will find your own ‘music’ to dance too!
2.
A brilliant pop up book which never seems to tire with Burton, especially Mummy’s brilliant *ahem* animal impersonations 🙂
3.
What can I say? A classic story which is a firm favourite.
4.
Another fantastic rhyming tale about a mischievous cat! Another I can recite word for word!
5.
Although Burton and I do not read this one as often, I wanted to include it because it is one I remember from my childhood 🙂
So what are your favourites? Why not check out the other entries HERE to see what other people have on their

Thank you xx
Thank you xx
Have half written mine and the Tiger that Came for Tea is my favourite. Love Dogger too, for the same reasons as you, in fact must rescue it from my parent’s house.
Lovely list and thanks for joining in. I think Dear Zoo must be the most voted for so far. Good – thoroughly deserved!
Oh I love Giraffe’s Can’t Dance, so great for reading aloud.
We are Hairy Maclary fans in this house bu need to buy some Slinky Malinki x
Not read some of those. Maybe we need to pop to the library.
I love Giraffes Can’t Dance, it’s on my list too!
I’m just reading through all the listography posts, and this reminded me that I never got back to you about that book! This was our favourite http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-New-Baby-Rachel-Fuller/dp/1846432766/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1299968340&sr=1-1 – My New Baby. There are four by the same author that kind of form a series – I’d say this is the most important, seeing as you’re so close to due date now. We had the pre-baby one and ‘Look at Me’ too, which is good now that D is a bit older. The other one I liked was Topsy and Tim and the New Baby (or similar title). Both of those feature breastfeeding – not sure if that’s important to you? Anyway, hope that helps, sorry it took me so long to get back to you!
