Dear Zoo
Rod Campbell, Macmillan Books
As it turns 21 years old in 2003, Dear Zoo will undoubtedly continue to delight a new generation of babies. This wonderful lift-the flap-book brings a valuable hands-on approach to books and introduces a host of animals.
So you want a pet but not sure what animal to get? What do you do? Ask the zoo of course! How about a lion? No, too fierce! A giraffe? No, too tall. Never mind, keep looking, there must be a perfect pet out there for you.

Creepy Crawlies
Oh Dear!
Peepo!
Janet and Allan Ahlberg, Penguin Books
Peepo is a popular game for all babies, and the Ahlberg's Peepo is an all-time favourite book. The little peepholes on each page are great fun and babies love putting their fingers through them.
Set in 1940s Britain, the activities and illustrations may be alien to many, but the rhymes and content are timeless. Babies love to see what's going on around them and there is definitely a lot to see in the pages of Peepo!
Each Peach Pear Plum
Janet and Allan Ahlberg, Viking Kestrel Picture Books
Winner of Kate Greenaway Medal 1978
Another favourite book for younger children, the Ahlbergs take the I-Spy rhyme and give it their own special treatment.
Nursery rhymes, fairy tales and humorous illustrations combine to create a spellbinding interactive book for under-twos.

Starting School
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Eric Carle, Hamish Hamilton Children's Books
A firm favourite on every child's bookshelf, this short, hopeful story moves along slowly and deserves to be read slowly - at about the pace of a fat caterpillar! Children adore the small little holes that show clearly where the greedy caterpillar has been; and Eric Carle's vivid, colourful illustrations - especially the 'beautiful butterfly' - make this picture book one of the most enchanting around.

Owl Babies
Martin Waddell and Patrick Benson, Walker Books
What really happens when the lights go out? Active imaginations take over and bedtime can soon become frightening. When three little owls wake in the middle of the night to find that their mother is not close by, they begin to think - but not the worst!
In fact Owl Babies is very reassuring and goes a long way towards calming these all-too-common night-time fears.
