bunny#1 wroteDo you happen to know where you mother bought the box set from? I've just had a look on a couple of sites I normally buy my books from but non seem to do the box set I loved these books when I was small It was from a book club at her hairdressers (and believe me, I wouldn't recommend going there unless you have an overwhelming desire for a blue rinse). Try Googling The Yellow Bookclub...I have vague memories of seeing it in one of those book-clubby brochures.

gremlin wroteNow, if we're talking kids-book classics, you've gotta have The Very Hungry Caterpillar.It's a classic but gets done to death in schools!!!Jez Alborough writes great books for younger children 3-5, I love his series about the bear.It's the Bear!, Where's my Teddy and Eddy and the BearThey are rhyming books and flow really well also finishing with a happy ending, which is always good. I loved Dr Seuss books when I was young, I think Fox in socks was the favourite and Green eggs and ham coming a close second.

If you need something just as simple to read and as full of imagination, but less embarrassing to be seen in public with, may I recommend "The Da Vinci Code."?Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that being seen reading "The Da Vinci Code" in public is in no less embarrassing than being seen reading childrens books, and in fact may be more so.

It has never appealed to me which is a good thing from the sounds of things.
