The Peanut's favourite books
Do skip this post if you have no interest whatever in picture books. I was inspired to write it by someone else posting about wanting inspiration for books to buy as gifts for toddlers other than the really well-known ones - and I thought I'd like to record what the Peanut enjoys at the moment (he's just turned two ( Read more... ) -
Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis
