    Mr Men. :thumb:

    ETA: And Georges Marvelous Medicine - I'm sure that book has something to do with my intrest in taking drugs.

    The Hungry Caterpillar.

    There was an old woman who swallowed a fly.

    Loved Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton too.

    Virtually all of Roald Dahl (his adult stuff is well worth a look if you dont know it).

    Winnie the Pooh (of course)

    Ponder and William (a rare gem written in the late 50's I think)

    Its not really a book, but the episode of Pingu where he pisses on the floor is excellent.

    No you don't.

    I used to love Biggles, and I was really pathetically pleased when I found my Biggles books as we were packing our flat up.

    Toby's Animal Resue Service which no-one ever seems to have heard of
    The Lion and Albert
    Puddle Lane books were awesome.

    I wasn't really the reading type though I adored Roald Dahl. I was more into Lego.

    When I was very small I used to read a book about a bear and his baby. The baby was afraid of the dark, and thought desperately on how to satisfy his son. He took down the moon for him.

    Don't know the name though.
