We don't have a TV so she'll need something to keep her entertained. <br /><br />One of my favourite kids books is Beegu. It's about a little alien that gets stranded on earth.

I am hating the fact that a lot of crap literature has entered our reading time - bad Thomas and Chuggington stories. Just bad. For awhile there though we were obsessed with the Mr McGee books (Pamela Allen). Lots of excellent rhyming.
