Shhh! Little Mouse by Pamela Allen
There is a mouse in the house, looking for something - but he needs to watch out! We love to hold our fingers to our lips and say "Shhh! little mouse!"
Painter Bear by Vivian French
I got this book as part of a book pack, and this is the one that kids seem to latch onto. A simple book about a bear who gets paint all over his clothes. "Oh painter bear, what a mess!" I'm pretty sure I know this book off by heart.
This book is a classic for a reason. I love reading this book, simply because of the way the words flow. The rhythm is beautiful and the rhymes add to the rhythm. And it's Australian which is always a plus :)
This book illustrates a fact I am a big believer in; if you love a book and you read it in a way that shows you love it, children will love it too.

Katie and the Big Brave Bear by Hermann Moers
and The Smallest Bilby and the Midnight Star by Nette Hilton http://www.dymocks.com.au/ProductDetails/ProductDetail.aspx?R=9781876288716
Little kids enjoy the stories, while bigger kids look deeper.
Thanks Katie - I haven't seen either before - will have to go looking!
