Jez Alborough has quite a reputation in the world of baby books. I have to say I am less enthusiastic than some, which has probably to do with the fact that his earlier hits like ''Hug'' take the concept of a picture book to an extreme. I loved [[Some Dogs Do]] though and the Duck series must be a good one if ''Fix-It-Duck'' is a typical example.

''Fix-It-Duck'' is a great toddler book, with a target age about 2 years old but probably still suitable for a sneaky peak by 4 year olds, and my almost-6 enjoyed reading it to ''see if it's any good for the Baby when he's bigger''. Much better than boringly correct Bob the Builder and definitely recommended (and yes, we'll keep it for Baby when he's bigger).

Comical and verbally inventive books about animal characters we loved include Lynley Dodd's [[Hairy Maclary]], Jackie French's [[Pete the Sheep]], Judith Kerr's [[Mog the Forgetful Cat]] and [[Harry the Dirty Dog]] by Gene Zion.
