Elfrida Vipont (Illus. Raymond Briggs), The Elephant and the Bad Baby

Puffin, 9780140500486 | Suggested age range: 0-3

The Bad Baby and the Elephant go boldly down the road taking something delicious from every shop they pass, and the Bad Baby never once says 'Please'. As a result, all the shopkeepers come running after the troublesome pair as they go, rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta through the town. But they never meant to be bad and soon they are forgiven, especially when the Bad Baby's mummy makes a feast of pancakes for everyone. A delightful repetitive text makes this fun to read again and again.
