DS is coming up for 3 and my Mum has said she will get him some books for his birthday. I will order them from Amazon as we live in Spain.
What book have you most enjoyed and would suggest I put on his wish list?

Oh, and definitely agree with The Kiss That Missed on the previous list.

That's wonderful.

There's a great book called Nothing But Trouble by Gus Clarke. It was first published in 1997, so it's possible you may have to go for a second-hand buy, but it's great. My ds loves it.

Going on a Bear Hunt

Owp! We like that too pinkteddy, though slightly dodgy with stupid mummy and sophie having to wait for daddy to come home and figure out what to do. And the tiger is well iffy imo.

Percy the Park-keeper is great, in fact most Nick Butterworth stuff is great - Q Pootle, Albert le Blanc too.

There's a great book about an Ark with all sorts of weird animals on it - can't remember the name but really lovely - I'm sure someone will know what I'm talking about

Albie books.
