ah! i nearly forgot this one

about all these homeless dispossessed toys who come together, find a decrepit old house and make themselves a home, drive off the police and have a great big party in the end.
it's hilarious and absolutely brilliant! the boy loves it too. we managed to lose our copy though - must get another.

We got this fairytales book at Christmas

The pictures are fantastic but the language is kinda strange - it's all in the present tense. And there's bits of the stories left out - the 3 little pigs don't say "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin". We add those bits in, obviously, but it's a bit mad that they're left out

Beatrix Potter stories are mad

This one about Mr Jeremy Fisher is all in archaic language, worth a read just to put on the voices and toff accents.

Winnie the Pooh is amazing. Isabelle is still a little young for the stories cos they're pretty wordy, but they're so well-written and funny with real 3-dimensional characters. Disney had made a shit of them though with the likes of Piglet's Big Movie

This one about Mr Jeremy Fisher is all in archaic language, worth a read just to put on the voices and toff accents.

I recently held a tiny Beatrix Potter storybook that was valued at £4000. Apparently, before she found a publisher she paid to have a thousand books printed herself and this (crazy) book-dealer had one of the last surviving copies.

They were incredibly beautiful and ornate but the font was tiny. Also, four thousand pounds sterling is pretty steep for a childless student.

I thought you had that amount of money lying in the back of your cupboard?

I blew it on smack, hookers and college fees.

In the first scene of "Piglet's Big Movie" Pooh, Rabbit and Eeyore are trying to get some honey ... and everyone tells Piglet he can't help cos he's too small, and they don't give him any credit when he saves the day! It's terrible! They just grafted badly-drawn versions of Pooh characters onto a generic Disney story. I said to Isabelle "oh it's finished now" and turned it off, didn't want her to think this bollocks was a real Piglet story

real Piglet story

There's a new edition of potter stories in a 12 book box set. Real nice, but not very exciting.

I cant believe no-ones mentioned these yet:

There's a Seusse book called "My many Coloured days" illustrated by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. It's fantastic looking. And great fun to read.

and anything by Pat Adams

was reading that last night. and the gruffallo - stupid fox!

 

[c0De_n1NjA]

the cat in the hat is great for getting cara off to sleep, so its one of my favorites

 

[nEiLo]

do you find reading stories in a monotone gets your kids to sleep quicker?

The Gruffalo! Meanies can be outsmarted, even if they're tougher than you! A deadly rhyming story! I developed a big spot on the end of my nose a few weeks ago and we were all calling it a "poisonous wart".

Some stories are kinda annoying, "The Lonely Giraffe" is basically the same as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - i.e. reject becomes cool by saving everyone's bacon.

That pair have a new book out called The Best Book Ever or something. It's good. A Squash And A Squeeze is good to.

Love the illustration in this series...

Tell you what, get aristotle's ethics. 2 pages of that shite and she'll give up trying to figure out what you're at and hit dreamland quicksmart. You will too, but thats niether here nor there.

I cry (and blame my parents for letting me have scissors) every time I see the damage I managed to do to the collection of Beatrix Potter books I had when I was little. I didn't actually cut anything out... I just shredded the pages.

My sister and youngest brother made me read that book to them so many times... and I still love it. "I do not like them Sam-I-Am, I do not like green eggs and ham"

If that doesn't work try his Metaphysics as interpreted by Thomas Aquinas... definitely the best cure for insomnia... as proved by the last 2 months... which feature among the worst in my life.
