DS (2.5) has a massive crush on Alfie, Annie Rose, Lucy & Tom. I am happy enough reading the entire available Shirley Hughes canon day in, day out, as i like them too... but we're going to need more at some point. We are working our way through everything else Hughes has done too, though Katie & Olly et al. are very much not as compelling as Alfie/ Lucy & Tom.
Can anyone suggest anything similarly beautifully illustrated and comfortingly "normal"*?
*I appreciate that Hughes' "normal" is very white, middle-class, privileged, etc - and will do what I can to give DS books that include other "normals". At 2.5 though, I think Alfie is all the complexity he really wants.
