Classic Childrens Story Books

[Broody85]

Ok, so I have 4 children to buy for this year aged 4 (nearly 5), 19 month, 12 month and 3 month. I have decided that I would like to buy them some classic childerns books, something they can hopefully enjoy for years and treasure.

I can only think of a handful tho so was wondering if you guys could help me out.
So far I have thought of:

Twas a night before christmas
The Beatrix Potter collection
The Wind in the Willows

Were going on a bear hunt (not a classic but its fab)

Also some age appropriate ones would be good, although I understand that a 3 month old wont find much use with books for a while yet.

and im stuck already

help...

[tiggertea]

Have to agree - Abbie loved hers "That's not my..." books (and still does!)
She also loves her fairytale board books coz she can "read" them herself

 

[Mizzy]

postage would be at cost. (would weigh any books you're interested in together for you)

There are loads more sections for other ages etc - all under the discussions tab

Thought of some more my kids like:

The gruffalo

The star faced crocodile

The tiger that came to tea

God I love books x
