Title: Children's Books Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 19, 2009, 15:45:30 Been babysitting most of the weekend so have had great fun reading a couple of classics.
Hairy Maclary From Donaldson’s Dairy is absolutely brilliant, but this weekend it was all about it's underrated sequel Hairy Maclary's Bone. It's a very flexible piece of literature which can be read in a number of styles. My favourite is in early 90's hip hop style. Good times. On the other hand, I find the much rated Peepo! incredibly boring. Yawn city. Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, April 19, 2009, 15:59:56 Its all about Octopus Socktopus

Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: Saxondale on Sunday, April 19, 2009, 19:08:46 Its all about Dr Seuss. Cat in the hat and its fine sequel, the cat in the hat comes back just a couple of classics along with his 'sleep' book.

And more recently Dear Zoo. The delight of making animal noises doesn't really fade. Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, April 20, 2009, 09:31:19 Dogger.

My lad used to like the Gruffalo, and Bear Hunt. Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: larwood on Monday, April 20, 2009, 14:48:11 Where The Wild Things Are.

The trailers look fab .............. but then the trailers for Watchmen looked fab aswell and that turned out to be a right pile of shite. Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 08:31:28 I read The Tweenies last night. It was Bella's birthday and she was 4 she blew the candles out and made a wish and wished for pink ballet shoes.Low and behold Doodles the dog walked in with a present and it was pink ballet shoes, that dog is so fucking special.
Tear jerking stuff Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 10:45:27 I always liked The Jolly Postman series... good stuff.
Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: flammableBen on Monday, May 11, 2009, 20:52:05 Dear Zoo doesn't make any fucking sense. If I wrote to the zoo asking for a pet I'm pretty sure I'd get told to fuck right off. They certainly wouldn't ship me out a variety of exotic animals.
Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: wiggy on Monday, May 11, 2009, 20:59:19 Gruffalo and Bear Hunt are ace.
Where's my Mum? and Rumble in the Jungle are right up there too. Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: Batch on Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 06:48:06 Tried reading a 'classic' with the lad the other week - Beatrix Potters Peter Rabbit series. It's sooooo bloody boring. It's from a different time I suppose, where people used to get pleasure from a lump of coal at Christmas, or made their own games up with nothing more than pebbles and a stick.
Give me a Gruffalo or a Horrid Henry any day of the weel Title: Re: Children's Books Post by: pauld on Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 07:12:34 My boys quite enjoyed Peter Rabbit but mainly I think because I did McGregor in a comedy mad Scotsman voice. sheepshagger's right about Dinosaur Rumpus as well, although I get told off for doing it rap stylee and shouting the "chorus". On which theme, Harry and the bucketful of dinosaurs is also boss.
