Old Macdonald Had a Farm (Classic Books with Holes)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Books for Babies

I bought this on a whim when purchasing another item for my daughter's birthday and I must admit that it is a pretty wee book which I know she will enjoy, however it is expensive for what it is. My advice is that you can get similar for cheaper from a supermarket if you can get to one or go to a library.

Not the best, but by no means the worst!

Peepo! (Viking Kestrel picture books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Books for Babies
by: Allan Ahlberg

May 29, 1997
I bought this book from all the rave reviews.. but was surprised at what an stereotypical, 50's fairy-tale of a family it conveys.. the baby peers through the holes in the pages to see his mummy and daddy happily sleeping together, mummy making porridge, daddy bringing coal, grandma hanging washing etc etc. If like me, you don't live in a house like this, you may find it a tad nauseating.

The illustrations are lovely, but my 15th month old is more interested in the more colourful 'there was an old woman..' and Spot.

My First Signs (Baby Signing) (BSL) (Baby Signing)

Found the book really useful as a simple introduction into signing for babies and young children. However don't buy from here go to the makaton website as the book is much much MUCH cheaper.

Goodnight, Moon

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Books for Babies

Tabitha Rose is two years and nine months. She loves a story at bedtime with her trusted teddy Charly.
I bought this book to take on holiday to help her to settle and wind down after a busy day. We have enjoyed it together every night since we have returned. Tabitha is my Grandaughter and she spends every Monday and Tuesday with us. Goodnight Moon is our final story at night.We enjoy looking at the illustrations and find that the changed from dusk, when the story begins, to the brightness of the moon and stars at the end sets the scene and mood for the end of the day. The little rabbit settling down and the young mouse are just right for this time.
The end of the book and the old lady 'whispering hush' soothe and settle Tabitha. ... Read More:

All Aboard the Ninky Nonk: Story 1: Igglepiggle: Story 1 ("In the Night Garden")

I bought all 4 books from this collection, they are perfect for youngsters.
The pages are thick card, so not so easy to rip, bend or mutilate!!!
Any drool is easily wiped clean too :o)

Good little bedtime story books, with nice story, good colours & plenty of familiar faces from the TV progrm.

Highly recommended.

I bought this book on the strength of the other reviews and it did not disappoint. The illustrations are lovely, and I was delighted to see depictions of breastfeeding the new baby included.

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes... (Baby Board Books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Books for Babies
from: Child's Play (International) Ltd

2002-04
I love this book and all the other ones in this series because the illustrations are so great, very sweet, but incredibly bright and colourful at the same time, they really catch my babies' attention. They are also hardcover which is great for younger children because they cant tear (or eat) the pages and they can start to try and turn the pages themselves rather than have to sit there and be good in case the book gets all torn!

I read this book for two children I was babysitting on Saturday night. I think I enjoyed it more than them! What a fab idea, perfectly written and illustrated. I'm going to be buying this for all the children I know this Christmas.

Baby Touch Rhyme Book (Baby Touch)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Books for Babies
from: Ladybird Books Ltd

March 31, 2005
I never write reviews but I have literally just bought this book - and never had such an amazing response from my 8 month old with any toy or book. It is really lovely, bright and colourful with fantastic fabrics and materials for baby to touch. He couldn't stop stroking it and touching the materials. Money very well spent - perfect for a baby 6 - 12 months I would think.

Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Classic Board Books with Holes)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Books for Babies
from: Child's Play (International) Ltd

Not our best buy really. Pictures are ok but very busy and not easy for small children. The holes don't work with this story. There are better buys out there so perhaps take another look before committing to this one.
