my toddlers book recommendations

My just-turned-2-year-old Jasper is VERY much into reading all of his books. And by that I mean, mummy and daddy need to read every single one of his books before he can even fathom going down for the night!

Here are our most popular books to read together –

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

All kinds of books by Tony Mitton & Ant Parker

Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

Pants by Giles Andreae & Nick Sharratt, Riddles by Bennett Cerf (hand me downs from when I was a kid!), we love Richard Scarry (another hand me down too), Dr Seuss and Golden Books!

What are your favourite books to read to your children?

In Your Room – Contemporary Furniture Australia

One of the first stalls I visited at The Baby Show in Sydney over the weekend, was In Your Room – Contemporary children’s furniture, based in Bronte, NSW Australia.

It was the gorgeous design that caught my eye, take a look at this beautiful table and chair set –

In Your Room’s owner/designer Keryn Hughes has created a beautiful range of children’s furniture that will last throughout the years. One of my favourites is the Tablebox which acts as a great toy or clothes box for the end of the bed – which I can see them using now (as babies) to even my age and beyond!
