Book suggestions for three year olds this Christmas please

I have the pleasure of having two three year olds to buy for this Christmas (not mine). I'm looking for book suggestions for boys who both happen to be fairly active and boisterous. I don't particularly want to go down the route of poo and worms. Nor do I want books that are about cutesey baby animals. I'm not trying to pander to stereotypes either but they actually do seem to prefer tractors and cars.

I think they are ready for a picture book like Farmer Duck but something perhaps with a bit more action maybe?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thank you very much ricekrispie22. I must admit I've only ever read the snake and the whale one and I wasn't a fan but I'll have another look at her books ... . I like the sound of highway rat Grin

You can’t go far wrong with Julia Donaldson. Go for one of her lesser known books like The Smeds and The Smoos, Zog or The Highway Rat.
