Sorry, am sure this has done before but I searched and couldn’t quite find a thread that nailed it.
2 year old DS, really into his books. Loves The Tiger Came to Tea, The Gruffalo, William & The Night Train...recommendations of similar titles? Amazon seems lift the flap & potty training focussed. I have to read them over & over again quite often 3 times in one sitting so a nice story rather than just illustrations please for my sanity! Thanks
