Yesterday, Jessicat and I visited Filwood library and found they had a great selection of board books for babies. These are some of the ones we chose:
Good Night, Spot - Eric Hill
Night, Night Baby (from the Amazing Baby series)
Bard's Rhyme Time - Julie Aigner-Clark (I have to confess that up to now, I have not been the biggest fan of Baby Einstein products, as I don't like the idea of pressuring babies to develop intellectually or academically before they are ready, but Jess appears to like this book, and the rhymes are fun).
This Little Baby - author not stated. You just can't have too many surprise mirror endings as far as Jessicat is concerned!
I'm about to start The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, which I have heard great things about, and have high hopes for. Have just finished and enjoyed Young Wives' Tales by Adele Parks.

About Me
- Val
- Bristol, United Kingdom
- My daughter,Jessica, was born in November 2006. I am a voracious reader myself, and interested in all kinds of different books, including books for young children. I thought it would be interesting if I kept an online diary for my daughter focussing on her development, and the books we share together. If you come across my blog, please say hello, or recommend a book that you think that Jess and I might enjoy reading together.
