ThirdEye ε ναι ούτως ή άλλως - sofiagk

στα χρόνια μου επιτρεπόταν το κάπνισμα στο Electric :) Αυτά πριν την βρωμοταινία του κοκού και τις ορδές που προσέλκυσε. Ψιλοκινδύνευες τότε να το χάσεις το πορτοφόλι σου, και δεν αναφέρομαι στα ψώνια ΛΟΛ - constantinos alexacos

Θειά, λέω να το καθιερώσω πάντως...το να παω κινηματογράφο μόνη. - ThirdEye

(yes, that's 5!) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

and actually there's 3 more... i'll go animal themes for those - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

so far, twitter wins the helpful answer contest - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

there are a metric tonne of star wars books, tales from mos eisley cantina was a good one - Mike Chelen

I always go with Roald Dahl. You can't go wrong. I also love the Neverending Story which I think I read around that age. If they like books already perhaps also something from the classics, I loved Jules Verne when I was young (come to think of it, that explains quite a lot) - sofiagk

In the genre of drawing books, The ones by Ed Emberley were huge favorites of mine when I was a kid. The best was Make a World. Besides teaching how to follow step-by-step instructions, it gave me a whole new way of looking at complicated things, and taught me to break them down into the simplest parts. This is a skill that carries way past drawing, into just about any task one would ever need to complete. http://www.amazon.com/gp... - April Russo (app103)

Sofia - these are all great ideas, I'm with you on all of these :D April: I'd never head of these, thanks for the tip! - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Hmm... 2 to 10. Ours is 4 and loves Paddington books which are probably not a very good suggestion for UK kids. :-) We also read a lot of books by Sven Nordqvist from "Pettson and Findus" and "Mama Muu" series. These are great but I don't know if quality translations to English are available. - Andrey Ivanov

Tove Jansson's Moomin books are good. We staged a theatrical play based on them on one birthday party and kids loved it. But again these are all good when translated to Russian. Not sure about English versions. - Andrey Ivanov

And Astrid Lindgren of course. - Andrey Ivanov

we had recently switched our little girl to English-only daycare, and they had delivered some reading list based on ages, made by UK shop which helps them with UK-adjusted kids books. If you ping me tomorrow, I can try to find few titles... - A.T.

if i may, for the one into fishing i guess he would love something about bushcraft, so maybe a book from Ray Mears or Mors Kochanski. - http://www.amazon.com/Essenti... and http://www.amazon.com/Bushcra... - ovigia

recent faves of my kids (6, 9) are anything in the "diary of a wimpy kid" series and the "bad kitty" series. The latter's author (Nick Bruel) has a bunch of hilarious books, most with great reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Nick-Br... - Mickey Schafer

ok, one of books from Winnie the Witch series, presumably targeted at 4-5 age. Unfortunately we left catalog at daycare when wife brought order form :-/ - A.T.

Joelle, you can't go wrong with a Robert Munsch story (especially for younger kids) - there's one involving fishing: A Promise is a Promise http://www.amazon.co.uk/Promise... - Micah Wittman

I'm set for next year too now :) @aivanov Moomin was I think started in english (oddly enough) so translations are good. And Astrid Lindgren, of course, what a good idea, not sure the parents will thank me after the kids read Pippi Longstocking... - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

For the little fisher: http://www.boingboing.net/2008... - Isola Virtuale

@silpol A.T. Winnie looks great, when my niece is a tad older I will definitely bring them! @msscha Mickey: thanks for the Bad Kittie and Wimpy references, the first will definitively work well for one of them I think, and the Wimpy Kid brought me to "Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express" which fits another one of them I think :) @isola those popups are crazy, that genre's certainly come a long way since i was a kid - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

one more question to all you parents: what makes sense when they are small, our niece is 16mo old and I know they have everything and then some. Wanted to stick to books but does it make sense to get a book for the really small or should i get a book slightly older that she can follow? Any books that worked really well from really young but had lasting value? @micah Would books... more... - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

for 16 monther it might make sense to buy "toy book" - they are made from different materials (with different tangible effects and feelings), have some primitive figures inside and mostly to develop finger pads (known as tactile pads, and responsible for mental development) - A.T.

Philip Pullman, for the older one(s) Orson Scott Card's (Ender game), for drawing Edward Gorey comes to mind :) - Michael Bravo

Εμ βέβαια. Πιάσαμε τα καφεδάκια με την κουμπαρομπεμπέκα και δεν φωνάξαμε υδραυλικό. Και γω τώρα θα πρέπει να πάω στο χαμάμ. Να πάρω το καπελάκι μου και να φύγω!!! - Sykofantis Bastoyni

Τώρα; Τώρα πάρτο και φύγε. - sofiagk

Α!!!!!! Με καπέλωσε. Φεύγω.!!!!!! - Sykofantis Bastoyni

Κατάλαβες Μπεμπέκα μου; Δέκα χρόνια να τον κοιτάω με όλη μου την αγάπη κι αυτός.... - sofiagk

Ναι βρε παιδί μου, και οι δημοσιογράφοι με τα δελτία τύπου - αλλά εκείνοι έχουν και ένα αφεντικό και status quo. Να το κάνεις από μόνος σου δεν είναι κάπως βαρετό; - sofiagk

Δεν ξέρω σε ποιον αναφέρεσαι. Κάποιοι το κάνουν για τη διαφήμιση του google. Κάποιοι άλλοι αυτόματα, τέλος είναι και κάποιοι βλαμμένοι. Αν ήξερα το case, θα σου έλεγα ιδιωτικώς. - Stazybο Hοrn

α γενικώς το αναρωτιέμαι. αφορμή σημερινή: διάβασα για κάτι καλό που έκανε ο αρχηγός της ΕΛ.ΑΣ και από περιέργεια έψαξα μία ατόφια πρόταση στο google. Είναι απίστευτο το πόσα blogs αναπαράγουν επί λέξη και χωρίς ούτε μία παραπάνω δικιά τους το αυθεντικό (αναφέρουν πηγή όσα είδα). Δοκίμασε το. Ψάξε "Ο αρχηγός της ΕΛ.ΑΣ Λευτέρης Οικονόμου φετος δεν έκανε αυτο που συνιθιζότανε τόσα" - sofiagk

μόλις άρχισε κι εδώ το χιόνι. σαπιλααααααααααααααααα - sofiagk

ελπίζω να πετάει το αεροπλάνο αύριο.... - mlazopoulou

πας Ελλάδα; - sofiagk
