[LoveMyBaby786]

I want to get my dd who is neadly 16 months some books for me to read to her and also some books for my 3 year old.

I would prefer some with larger writing and pictures rather than small writing.

What are your top book suggestions for my ds and dd please and best place to buy?

Thanks!

My lo loves the Pip & Posey books. The book people have a deal on a 3 book set. He also loves Paddington. I got a collection book that has 6 stories in it. The illustrations are lovely. Any of the Julia Donaldson books are fab, favourites being Gruffalo, Tabby McTat, Charlie Cook...again the book people do a 10 book set for around a tenner. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a lovely book.

Thanks both will have a look at the suggested books.

And looking for books in general not just for christmas time x

Anything by Julia Donaldson for 3 year old, my 5 year old (autistic so could be compared to a 3 year old) absolutely loves "The highway rat" and has it every night as 1 of his 2 bedtime stories!

dear zoo
julia donaldson books
barry the fish with fingers (theres others in this series too)
figety fish
giraffes don't dance

all ones my kids enjoy

I agree with others about julia donaldson - room.on the broom and the gruffalo are a must. DS also loves barry the fish with fingers, albies dinosaur adventure and any superhero or fireman sam books. For your 16month old the "thats not my..." range may be a good one

Aside from what the others have mentioned the Baby Lit series is great in my opinion Beatrix Potter books and Goodnight Moon are staples in this house too.

thebookpeople.co.uk are very cheap! I am sure you can get a Julia Donaldson collection too for £10 or something ridiculous! (10 books I think)
