I occasionally recite this to myself, because it has stuck in my memory for years. I think everyone read this, but it was really good. It got me through DofE as well, chanting it with my friend

I LOVE this book and reread it recently. I can still remember the main phrase that is repeated throughout I think. It rhymes, which is really impressive actually. The plot is great too

I read loads of books from this series and loved them. They are about a dog, but I can't remember much else. The illustration is really nice though.
