Over the years, we have slowly accumulated quite the book collection for our two girls. When we were expecting our youngest daughter, we purchased some classic books to go in her nursery, some of which are her favourites now. So I wanted to share ten of our favourite classic children’s books with you.
I’m sure you will remember some of these books from when you were little too!
1. Dear Zoo
This book has a simple story and is easy to follow. You will discover lots of animals along the way, as you lift the flaps to find the perfect pet from the zoo..
