I'm a bit last minute with this, but I always get ds a few books for xmas. Does anyone have any good recommendations? He's three and a half by the way

The Gruffalo or The Gruffalo's Child if you don't already have them
Or pretty much anything by Julia Donaldson

We have a few Julia Donaldson but not the gruffalo, so I'll have a look at that one.

My lo is just about to turn 2 and is obsessed with the Pip and Posy books. They are by the guy who illustrated the Gruffalo. I really enjoy reading him them, and of course the illustrations are lovely!!

I'd recommend the Gruffalo, my lo loves it! She's nearly 3 and also likes We're Going On A Bear Hunt. Julia Donaldson has done some lift the flap books Hide and Seek Pig, Rabbits Nap, Postman Bear and Foxes Socks, and they're all her favs too. Oh, and she loves her Thomas books too.

I think all the Alfie books by Shirley Hughes are fantastic.

Where the wild things are is a great one to read and my lo loves it. Julia Donaldson (hope that's right) is also a big hit (stay away from toddle waddle, they'll have me read it twenty times! Haha). I'm hoping to get Dr Seuss book collection too as they're pretty much classics every child loves
