DS is coming up for 3 and my Mum has said she will get him some books for his birthday. I will order them from Amazon as we live in Spain.
What book have you most enjoyed and would suggest I put on his wish list?

the Gruffalo

Monkey Puzzle

Duck in a Truck

Commotion in the Ocean

Topsy and Tim books

The tiger that came to tea, Judith Kerr
Its our favourite!

Owp! We like that too pinkteddy, though slightly dodgy with stupid mummy and sophie having to wait for daddy to come home and figure out what to do. And the tiger is well iffy imo.

Percy the Park-keeper is great, in fact most Nick Butterworth stuff is great - Q Pootle, Albert le Blanc too.

There's a great book about an Ark with all sorts of weird animals on it - can't remember the name but really lovely - I'm sure someone will know what I'm talking about

Albie books.

There's a great book called Nothing But Trouble by Gus Clarke. It was first published in 1997, so it's possible you may have to go for a second-hand buy, but it's great. My ds loves it.

Desiderata Wed 27-Jun-07 18:22:26

Oh, and definitely agree with The Kiss That Missed on the previous list.

That's wonderful.

ktmoomoo Wed 27-Jun-07 18:32:34

dd and ds both loved a book all about going to a zoo to choose a pet, crocodile was to snappy and snake too hissy , but i have forgotten book title

ktmoomoo Wed 27-Jun-07 18:33:29

another book is called FIX IT DUCK

heifer Wed 27-Jun-07 18:35:25

The Very Hungry Caterpiller - Eric Carle
Ten Tiny Tadpoles - Debbie Tarbett
Toes are to Tickle - Shen Roddie, Kady MacDoinald Denton
Guess how much I love you - Sam McBratney

My DD 3.5 loves all the above - has had them quite a while so they may be for younger children, but she still loves them...

Will write some more when I look at the books upstairs (DH reads to her in bed and I have to admit I have no idea what books are up there, as we have been given loads from friends and family)...

Crocky Wed 27-Jun-07 18:38:36

We also love Eddie's teddy.
