What is the most lovely book that anyone's read to give to a 3 year old?

The Jolly Postman - with all the envelopes!

At the end of his first year of nursery, DS was gifted a book called “My Pet Star” by his teacher, and it brought tears to my eyes. It’s short enough to keep a toddler’s attention, and has lovely pictures Smile

There is a Shirley Hughes collection that features a range of stories and poems from toddler up to teenager which is lovely and a gift I've given before.

What will you dream of tonight by Frances Stickley, we love it here!

I really like the Shirley Hughes books, but more for pre-school age than toddlers maybe, they're slightly longer picture books.

Story wise or aesthetically?

One if the most beautiful stories we had was 'Goodnight to all the Sleepy Animals'.

Anything by Robert Sabuda. I'm planning to give The Little Mermaid to my 3yo niece for Christmas. They are delicate though as they are pop up books so maybe not suited to a more rough and tumble type toddler!
