Most of our books are passed down from my childhood so there is a heavy load of nostalgia with most reading sessions in our home. What I find even stranger is most of the books from my childhood were pre-owned, so it's remarkable really that they have lasted so many generations of inquisitive children.
My brother and I owned most of the Usborne Starting Point series and as he has a little girl just 7 months younger than Wilf we have each inherited half the collection for our children. I laid claim to the top two which I remember reading over and over, however reading them now to Wilf I've realised I am learning some of these facts all over again! To be honest they are a little advanced for a two year old but I don't really see any harm in explaining these things to him now, even if I just see it as preparation for that 'why?' stage that is sure to come soon.
Did you have these books as a child? What are you reading right now?
What are you reading this week?
If you fancy linking up them just mention me in your post and will pop all your lovely pictures on my Pinterest :)

My best friend had a pair of these when we were little and I was sooo jealous, I never had them! I rather like the look of the silver metallic :)
I'd love these for me and my niece! We're so close at the moment I feel that matching jellies could only perfect our double act!
I heartily recommend getting in as much matchy matching as you can before the age hits when they realise its not cool! Mine is 5 and rather more concerned with her "look" than I've ever been! That blue is gorgeous...
I love that you and Wilf Match! I love the metallic pink ones!

I have always loved jellies and I am so happy that they seem to have become popular again! I can't decide between all the lovely colours-I like the silver glitter, cherry, metallic pink (very mermaid-y!), and metallic silver, but then part of me thinks the sensible black would probably get worn the most!
SUN - Clear
I like the Sun - Violet

Oh my goodness we so need these! These are all the questions Cherry asks me on a daily basis and that I can never give proper answers for! x

I remember Usbourne books, we had one about the future when I was in Primary 5, it was all about what life would be like in 2000. I think the book was written in the 70s, but I read it in the 80s so it wasn't that long to go. I am very glad we aren't all wearing brown jump suits, but I would quite like robots to do the housework. I'm sure I borrowed others from the library, all very accessible. Here's what we're reading: http://chatiryworld.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/bagl-reads-i-want-my-hat-back/
Clear - takes me back to my youth!
I love the Navy (but how good are the Jumpy Chelsea boots?! - they are so on the pay day list!),
Loving the yellow :)

I used to hate the black ones because there were always so many beautiful colors but it has grown on me and now I want black jellies
I would definitely go for #matchymatchy cyan jellies for Elsa & I. Or maybe red......so many colours to choose from!
Such a toughie, I love my jellies and want every colour, but I guess next would be the metallic pink and navy
Recently came across Sun Jellies on Instagram and will be buying myself a pair for this summer instead of my usual summer Birkenstocks. Love the metallics.
I love the navy ones!
I love the metallic pink!!
So cute, I'd go for orange or navy and get the blue for my little Dylan x
Is having more than two pairs a little excessive? No?! Great, then I'd love to add the voilet to my collection already thanks!!

I have always loved Usborne books, they are so informative. I buy a lot for my son for our home ed library and would snap these ones up if I spied them in a charity shop. In fact, I think I have one of these all about the body.
I'm liking the orange ones :)
