I adore kids books.. and am always buying books for my neices and nephews.. my 11 year old neice is a big book reader so I love hunting out new books for her to read!
If you want to buy a little kids book that will *really* make you laugh, this is hilarious.. "The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business" My 4 year old nephew adored it - not as much as all the adults I showed it to though!!
(added after... Seems its not available at the US Amazon.. but here is a link to the UK one.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1856024563/drbobsvirtenp-21)Not all the books I mentioed are fantasy.. the Isabelle Allende books aren't really fantasy.. but just a hint of magic in them.. I was once told the genre was "Magical Realism"!!!! Eva Luna, for example, follows the life of a girl in a South American country under a dictator.
Looking forward to getting some money next week so I can go hunt the book shop again!! *l*
