Apart from Julia Donaldson, what are your favourite books for your preschool/primary DC

[Quirrelsotherface]

Inspired by the JD thread, it seems that her books have taken over a bit!
I've been buying my DC (5 & 4) a lot of the Alan Ahlberg books recently. They love the Happy Families range and Funnybones. Any other suggestions?

The Oi Dog/Frog books and Winnie the Witch. My two are also keen on Sue Hendra.

I want my hat back

Very hungry caterpillar

The tiger who came to tea

The large family series

‘Oi’ series

Oi Dog

Hairy McLairy

My two are teenagers now but they loved

The Tiger who came to tea

Bear Hunt

Burglar Bill (we went to see this at the Fringe so we read it with a cockney accent, as per the play)

No matter what (I especially loved this and occasionally refer to it now).

Diggersaurs

Six dinner Sid

Thomas books

My just turned 6yr old loves the mr men and little miss books. We’ve been reading them since she was 4, now she can read them by herself.

My daughter (5.5yo) is mad about Roald Dahl books. She can't read them herself yet but she loves having them read to her, and also has a set of the audiobooks that she listens to at bedtime or while colouring in etc.

Jolly Postman is also a favourite.

All the fairy tale books my children especially love the magic porridge pot, three billy goats gruff, the three little pigs and Goldilocks.
My six year old enjoyed me reading the faraway tree and the wishing chair by Enid blyton to him. I’m reading fantastic mr fox to him at the moment and we are both really enjoying it!

Meg, Mog and Owl, Nick Sharrat books and Hairy Mclairy.

Mine loved Topsy and Tim books at that age.

For Reception/Yr1 sort of stage- Claude books by Alex T Smith. Even funny for adults. Bit longer than the picture books for toddlers.

Chimp and Zee by Catherine Anholt

All books by Shirley Hughes

Each, Peach, Pear, Plum

Peepo!

My 3 year old loves the mog books. Classics but still very relevant!

We also love the Usbourne Apple Tree Farm books!

Rattletrap Car by Phyllis Root
Hog in the Frog by Julia Copus
Dogs Go Shopping by Sharon Rentta

Open very Carefully - Nick Bromley
The Case of the Missing Cake - Eion Mclaughlin

Oh and Quentin Blake books - Mr Magnolia, Mrs Armitige on Wheels, Angelica Sprockets Pockets.

Young:the monkey with a bright blue bottom...my 3 year old could 'read' it to you as memories from me reading daily.
The bolds.... Just 3 books.. But laugh out loud for young readers
Supermarket zoo
Magic tree house adventures.. They like that go to different times...
