Defne's favorite books
Dear Pixie inspired me to write a post about Defne's favourite books.
Now, first of all I have to write about The Bear series from Barefoot Books. We bought 2 of these when Defne was around 14 months old.She loved these,a few months later we bought the other ones. The books are beautifully illustrated. At 27 months,they are still read every other day if not every day!
Poppy Cat (Pisi Kedi in Turkish) was also bought when she was one year old during our holiday in Turkey. It has lift the flap and feel and touch pages.She still likes these.
Miffy is quite an old character,first published in the 60s. So Miffy's father is always wearing a tie :)Defne loves this rabiit very much. The book is written in a rhyming text which is great for language development.We have a few in Turkish.
This is a classic and I now know why.Eric Carle's books are just beautiful.

In our local library there is a Maisy corner where all the Maisy books are displayed. I have introduced Defne to Maisy a few months ago and since then we literally live with Maisy and her gang ;)
After watching How to Catch A Star at the theatre,we also bought the book.This is one of the most beautifully illustrated books I have ever seen.
My Cat just sleeps is devoted to all cat lovers out there. It was in our Bookstart package which Defne was given on her 2nd birthday.
Piglet and Mama was borrowed from the library. It is a beautiffuly told story about a piglet who lost his mother in the farm and their reunion.We read this book many times cuddling each other.
Backpack Baby is great for all babies and toddlers who love their slings/wraps.It is a small book,very handy to pop in your bag so that the little ones don't get bored on short trips.
Now it is time to write about our books in Turkish for my Turkish readers. We had bought a few books last year after having read about them on dear Yasemin's blog. Limon Agacinin Sarkisi, Butun Gun Esneyen Prenses and Cikolata (all of these books are from Redhouse Kidz) are very much loved here. We are looking forward to buy more books in Turkish on our next trip.
Which books do your children love?

We love our bear book too, thank you dear Isil!
These days, Littlepixie is also very fond of "Kiss Goodnight Sam" which we found in town last week. It's also about a bear :)
Some great book suggestions, thanks! We discovered Maisie Mouse here too and sunnyboy has loved her since.
I really need to do a similar post. Mama Roots (Branching Out) recently posted about The Very Hungry Caterpillar - it's 40 years old this month! Miffi looks like such a cute book! :-) Thanks for all the reviews.
ışıl selam :) oliver jeffers'ın diğer kitapları da harika belki görmüşsündür. ben book eating boy muydu adı tam hatırlayamadım şimdi, o kitap dışındakileri burda pandora'da bulup aldım. benim 1 numaralı çocuk kitabı yazarı ve illüstratörüm oliver jeffers.
Great post, Isil. I am looking to do a similar post, though about children's music. My little one is finally getting over hip hop and is now into happy kids' songs. Anyway, I will have to check out the Maisie series, which I've seen but we still have not explored.
Wow!! All those are just amazing books for kids!! "Poppy Cat" and "How to Catch A Star" are so nice!!
