Hi, my 2 year old dd has grown out of board books and seems to be ready for something with a bit more text in than Maisy books, all we have so far is Laura's Star and a few Blue kangaroo books... I'm looking for inspiration! What do you love to read to your little ones????

Topsy and Tim books are a major fave with our DS

DS2 (2) loves books. He loves:

Julia Donaldson (in general)
Pumpkin Soup (which is lovely)
Harry and the Dinosaurs
Dr Seuss
The aliens love underpants books (the rhymes are pretty dire though)
The pirate cruncher (he loves, loves, loves this; it's quite dark though)
Good little wolf (also quite dark)
David Melling books (he seems to like them all)
We're going on a bear hunt
Giles Andreae books

And loads more.

Each peach pear plum

The large family

Anything by Julia Donalsdon - a squash and a sqeeze is a favourite

DS likes Julia Donaldson (esp Gruffalo, Squash and a Squeeze and Room on the Broom). He also likes Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs (the original books, not the rubbishy TV tie-in ones) and Pumpkin Soup is another recent favorite. I know they're pretty unpopular on here but he's also very keen on the Mr Men. They were the first books he really laughed at and he's always repeating parts of them. HTH.

anything by Julia Donaldson but especially what the ladybird heard and the gruffalo. The tiger who came for tea. Any of the Mog books. The Rainbow Fish. The lion in the meadow

Most Julia Donaldson books go down pretty well here. The Gruffalo was DD1's favourite when she was about 2, she also loves The Snail and the Whale.
