What’s your favourite children’s book?

[PennyCrayon85]

What’s your favourite children’s book? For age range 3-6 years. Looking for some ideas.

Mine have to be Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson. Also love Ruby’s Worry (can’t remember the author).

Reading the Magic Faraway Tree just now. Six year old loves it (I think it’s dirge!)

[stayathomer]

Muddypaws books are fab, also the Mog series but The Day The Crayons quit is definitely the one we read the most here!!!

[stayathomer]

Also Dear Zoo!( I'll be back!!)

[anorangeaday]

I also love the mog books

[H1978]

I love the faraway tree books too since I was young. I actually recently got myself the full set so i can still transport myself there whenever I want.

[DumbleDorkReturns]

Loved "Tom and the magic rainbow" as a child and also "fun to read stories"

[doadeer]

All the Jolly Postmans - still get excited with the letters!

[CherryPavlova]

Mine loved Guess how much I love you, each peach pear plum, the hungry caterpillar from quite young. Then onto jolly postman, Madeline, and by about six it was Charlottes web, Amazing Grace and some of the Morpurgo books.

[Afibtomyboy]

Digger

Couldn’t read without crying

[NataliaOsipova]

I want my Hat Back and A Bear Called Paddington. (In fact, the latter is probably my favourite book of all time....

[Fleamaker123]

Winnie the Witch, the illustrations are amazing

Michael Rosen's Mustard Custard Grumble Belly and Gravy, lots of playing about with rhyming words, very silly but cleverly done.. my son used to absolutely love it!

[Fleamaker123]

@doadeer

All the Jolly Postmans - still get excited with the letters!

The Day the Crayons Quit/Came Home - brilliant. The Killer Cat books are great too and the Mog books. Anything Julia Donaldson too.

[Winterfellismyhome]

I love The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers. Most of his stuff actually

[DumbleDorkReturns]

Ohh also the hairy mclary books and funnybones

[PennyCrayon85]

Aww my three year old is obsessed with Hairy Maclairy

[Drogonssmile]

My two boys aged nearly 7 and nearly 4 love The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. I love it too!

[RosieLemonade]

My favourite is Stickman. I never get bored of it. I do love paper dolls as well though it makes me teary.

[NoraLuka]

Yes the owl who was afraid of the dark
Dogger
Moving Molly
The snail and the whale
Tiger who came to tea and Mog

We have 1980s copies of Postman Pat which the DDs liked 😁

[BillywigSting]

Paper dolls and not now Bernard are both brilliant but also both definitely require the kleenex.

The Mr Men books are a solid favourite here

Also a fan of six dinner sid and the rainbow fish

[Elderflower14]

The Very Hungry Caterpillar...
Owl Babies.....
Spot!

[babypossum]

No Bed Without Ted by Nicola Smee. Loved universally in our house and of course we all know it word for word.

[fishywaters]

Meg&Mog books
The tiger who came to Tea (and others by J Kerr)
Paddington bear
All the Katie goes to London/museum etc books
Topsy&Tim
Stickman and others by Julia Donaldson
Curious George is also a great first reader - I think it is originally American

[Kanaloa]

The Giving Tree is one of my absolute favourites. Also love Starlight Sailor. For older kids, I like the Milly-Molly-Mandy books & Madeline.
