Does anyone have any recommendations for good ryhyming board books suitable for a 1 year old. My DS loves 'Sometimes I like to curl up in a ball' by Charles Fuge and Vicki Churchill but I was not sure if others written by those authors are actually rhyming books as they never tell you when you look online. Any other good authors

Any ideas

thanks

We had Quentin Blake's All Join In as a board book - its funny poems rather than a rhyming story though. But they are great for reading out loud and a for a toddler learning to talk to join in on the catchphrase from each verse IYSWIM

Recommend 'Peepo' and 'Each Peach Pear Plum', both by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Charming stories, gentle humour, rhyming text, and beautiful illustrations...both are published as board books. We had to replace our original copies, as they had become so battered and worn....lovely books!

Second the Ahlberg's. DS still loves the EPPP rhymes, and he is 10 now!

Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton is fun.

Hairy Maclary reads beautifully IMO and they will love it for years!
