My mum made us donate it to our Brownie jumble sale when we were clearing out pre house move, but my sister and I bought it back from the book stall and I still have it now. I really didn't want to like A Squash And A Squeeze but I have to admit it's pretty good and it's one of Dulcie's favourites.dropstitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891710367717242017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-32183421362772525922013-10-15T21:47:39.362+01:002013-10-15T21:47:39.362+01:00I know it mad how many books she's done!

And how many books has Julia Donaldson written?! Mind you, at least one of her books is a rip-off of another fairly obscure book I had as a child. Maybe she's stealing all her ideas from books purchased in library sales etc...? Either that or she's prolific and incredibly talented. Yeah, the latter seems more likely as a scenario actually... :)dropstitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891710367717242017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-44754973624926247202013-10-15T16:02:39.599+01:002013-10-15T16:02:39.599+01:00I will have to look out for Stanley's Stick......I will have to look out for Stanley's Stick...<br />John Hegley is hilarious, he has recently come to perform in 2 of our local libraries and i went along to both shows which were great!

I really should check it out! I love You Choose too, have read that with my nieces and nephew and had great fun doing it! Thanks for all the recommendations - Dulcie is already developing a taste for bum humour, so I'm sure many of them will come in useful :)dropstitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891710367717242017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-65653372444492188452013-10-11T10:56:33.054+01:002013-10-11T10:56:33.054+01:00I LOVE Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and will read ...I LOVE Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and will read it time and time again. Our picture books (we still have loads) are for slightly older children - The Great Dog Bottom Swap is brilliant and so is Walter The Farting Dog (can you tell the girls love bottom humour!) You Choose (just google it) is brilliant as you can choose who you would be, which bed, house, furniture, food etc etc you would get. We've had it since Anya was little and Tara was actually re-reading it last night before bed!Swirlyartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17604277693684703535noreply@blogger.com
