We LOVE Julia Donaldson and have quite a collection of her books now. Can anyone recommend anything else that is as engaging for my 3YO?

Any of the books by Rachel Bright, illustrated by Jim Field: The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could were favourites at that age in our house.

Ooh yes they are good

3yr old Ds likes the Nicola Kinnear books - a A Little Bit Brave, Can I Play etc; the Rachel Bright & Jim Field books - Lion Inside, Way Home for Wolf etc. He loves one called Dinosaurs Don’t Have Bedtimes by Timothy Knapman.

Goodnight moon. It is quite old fashioned but it’s got beautiful illustrations and is perfect for bedtime. It was the absolute favourite of my DS’s - I miss it now they’re both teens!

Oi frog and other Oi books
Meg and Mog

Anything by Oliver Jeffers
5 minutes to bed stories(Dino/mermaid/monster etc)

Or the very best option is to take her to the library and let her choose her own which will likely be something no one recommended but become a firm favourite story.

The Large Family series.

Oliver Jeffers. Especially This Moose belongs to me and the crayons books.
