Hi can anyone recommend some toddle books for my 2 yr old? I'm slowly going insane reading the same books over and over so want to buy a few new ones.

He loves vehicles, cars, fire engines etc

The Amazing Machines series of books are great and hopefully not the ones you are already sick of!

Richard scarry has a few vehicley books - lots of detail in the pictures to spot things and talk about etc

@Motorcyclemptiness they look amazing, I've just purchased the set of 10 from eBay. Thanks for the recommendation.

We just have the usual books everyone has like hungry caterpillar, Gruffalo, each peach pear plum and dear Zoo etc - all great books but I think we both need sone fresh ones.

@SleepWarrior Any titles from Richard Scarry particularly? I guess the cars and trunks would be a good one to start with?

Mine adored Ben's Big Book of Cars and the Usborne 'Look inside....cars'

And when he was a bit older, the Car Mad Jack series.

They are nice books, OP and DS loved them when he was a cars/trains/tractor mad pre- schooler! If the car addiction persists as he gets older, the Landy and Fender books later became equally popular!

DS got Usbourne's '1000 things that go' for Christmas when he was just under 2. Still loves it age 2.5

His 'thing' is also vehicles, instead of being one of those toddlers that corrects adults on dinosaurs he corrects me on vehicles...'no mummy, that's an excavator'

Yes, the cars and trucks one. Also Busy Busy World has quite a few funny car stories in (and plenty of non-car ones too). There's a Planes book and Day at the airport too. Busy Busy World is my favorite though.

Thomas the Tank Engine books.
