There's a factory shop at 31 Constellation Drive in Albany, that sells cheap books. Haven't been there yet myself, but have heard it's great for kids books.

Am getting some great book ideas from this thread!]]> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:46:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=349026&title=favourite-picture-books#349026 <![CDATA[Favourite picture books : Does anyone know where you can...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=349004&title=favourite-picture-books#349004 Author: MummyFreckle

Lucas absolutely adores Maisy Mouse books, he goes NUTS when he sees them and is constantly pulling them down from the bookcase and bringing them over for me to read!

I Highly recommend Maisy's Nature Trail which is an interactive pop-up board book ...with frogs jumping in ponds, birds flapping wings ...eggs cracking open to reveal baby chics. It's gorgeous! That has been his fave since 5ot 6 months of age!]]> Mon, 07 Apr 2008 21:41:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=348294&title=favourite-picture-books#348294 <![CDATA[Favourite picture books : At the moment Isla loves her mini...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=348135&title=favourite-picture-books#348135 Author: Kellz

We have the 'Who's my mummy' book too and a couple of others in the series. Ollie's fav book at the moment is a 'Perky the Pukeko' book - 'Perky & the Possum Trap'.

i love reading Eden anything Peter Rabbit related, i used to have it read to me as a child, and i still love it!

Izobel loves the "whoops" and "buzz" shiny books and has for about a year now!

Also little black sambo (so un PC) and Berenstien (sp) Bears "up spook hill" and "where the wild things are" are also my fave kids books!]]> Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:11:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=348065&title=favourite-picture-books#348065 <![CDATA[Favourite picture books : ShellandBella wrote:I got given...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=348062&title=favourite-picture-books#348062 Author: fattartsrock

Both my kids love the very hungry catterpiller (sp) and Jake loves Walter the farting dog. There are lots of lift the flap ones they both love, a fave is a slide and find animal one, Jake likes making the noises, also he LOVES this big one with magnets that he calls the goat book (it had a goat in it) I HATE that one, it goes on "holiday" alot, along with Peter Rabbit, that can be brought to you for reading at least 4 or 5 timers a day . They both love the hairy Mclairy books, and we like MOG ones form the library as well.]]> Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:08:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=348060&title=favourite-picture-books#348060 <![CDATA[Favourite picture books : I got given a good one called...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16116&PID=348059&title=favourite-picture-books#348059 Author: ShellandBella

I'm just wondering what your babies favourite book is and/or what book you enjoy reading to them most? At the moment I'm liking, 'That's Not My Mermaid..'It's nice and tactile.
