Seeing Meg and Mog, The Velveteen Rabbit and those three little wolves made me smile. Great to find ones recommended by Jack too. And yes you did have Old Bear when you were little and it was The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch.
What fun - many I remember / recognize from my sons and grand children. My father would read The Owl and the Pussy Cat, I read it to my sons and then my grandchildren. Make Way for the Ducklings is another 3 generation book in my family as is Miss Rumphius. Thanks for the trip down memory lane - and suggestions .
Love Mrs Armitage from my childhood, there is also similar story with a bicycle. I am shocked that i have never read a Velveteen Rabbit. I need to rectify this! My children both have rabbits as the teddy that goes everywhere with them! 😃💜📚
1:35 - one of my all time Faves! Loved reading this with my children too and shouting "Peepo!" Then spotting all the things in pictures and discussion what they were. Think set in 1940's 💜📚
Lol - can't stop commenting - Gruffalo is such a classic structure, with rule of 3, rhyming, protagonist using wits and the illustrations. So fantastic. Her whole range just seems to delight all children. So pleased it's now s Christmas tradition to do a Julia Donaldson mini film on BBC Old Bear!!!!!!! Again l8ve from Childhood and we have Little Bear's Trousers, Ruff and Jolly Snow. Love these - Shirly Huges vibes of gentle stories 😃💜📚
Yes Julia Donaldson has got such a grasp of the structure. We have another one of hers now called Fox's Socks and again it has fantastic rhyme as well as lift the flap fun.
Oooh when the dragons came - I have not heard of, but I love Benji Davis stormwhale illustrations - will have to find in the library - what a great conversation started around rules and society that book would be! 😃💜📚
@tillysshelf 😆😆😆 no worries, always happy to share my thoughts regardless. Pretty sure youhave loads ti be doing. Thanks for trawling back and replying 😆💜📚
I absolutely love this, Tilly! Thank you so much for sharing these marvellous books - amazing that you managed 30 in 30 minutes! Some wonderful old books that took me back to my own childhood as well as my early days of teaching. You should definitely seek out Nen and the Lonely Fisherman by Ian Eagleton and James Mayhew - just gorgeous. I’m so glad that you enjoyed my 30 books in 30 days series. It was fun to do!💛💛💛
Hey! Sorry for my usual slow comment response. Yes I will look out for Nen the Lonely Fisherman. I've managed to get hold of quite a few more picture books in the last few months - every time I go past a bookshop one creeps in!
23:34 - We LOVE Jon Klasen, I have my sharing Jack's "The Skull" video😊 left right and centre everytime I mentuon the Skull, she explores it so Beautifully! I want my Hat back is my husband's favourite book. There is a link to a commedian reading this book aloud. So hilarious. We love it and obviously the different animals need a different voice " don't ask me anymore questions" is now a quote if anyone has been caught being cheeky! 😂💜📚
I will have to try and find that video! It's definitely become a bit of a known phrase in my family as well, and any hat-related comments are sure to be linked back to this book.
This was a very enjoyable video! I have had an affinity for children ‘ s picture books that dates back to my earliest memories and has lasted through the childhood of each qmy three children and my four grandchildren. I have kept many of their favorites! I can recommend three to you that have delighted all of us: Oxcart Man by Donald Hall, illustrated by Barbara Cooney. ( Donald Hall is a former Poet Laureate of the US and Barbara Cooney is an award winning illustrator), the Frog and Toad series by Arnold Lobel, and The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the BIG HUNGRY BEAR by Don and Audrey Wood, illustrated by Don Wood. On the last, when our paperback copy wore out and I recycled it, my husband was so upset by its departure that I took off for my local book store and bought him a brand new copy.) 😎 Hope you can look these up and enjoy them!

It's impressive how well I can remember them when we must have stopped reading most of them by around age 3 surely.
@@tillysshelf crucial years.

Yes I was surprised by how many old familiars I found when I know there are lots of lovely new ones. But the classics are classics I suppose!

1940s setting does make sense. It seems quite old school!
@tillysshelf Very old school! Although we also had a coal shed and coal fire for the first 6 yrs of my life - exciting ancient history.
So delighted you bought The Woodcutter and the Snow Prince - it is SO gorgeous! And was my impulse buy on that trip!
Yes it's such a sweet positive story as well. Glad that I got it!

I haven't seen The Marine World but I just got another fish-themed one about the deep ocean called Who's Afraid of the Light? It's got a great twist!
