I’d really appreciate some ideas for grandchildren.
Thanks so much in advance.

Julia Donaldson books are always good.

You Choose by Pippa Goodhart (more for the 3yo).

The oi frog series. Loved it from about 3-7

My 4 year old loves ‘The book with no pictures’.

you choose and just imagine

anything by Julia Donaldson

dinosaur pooped series for the 3 year old

Winnie the witch books for the 6 year old.

Thanks!

Anything by Mo Willems or Oliver Jeffers

3 and 4 year old Gdcs loved Poo In The Zoo.

Everything @Glenthebattleostrichjust said.

Mine are now 4 and 7 and the youngest will listen along to risks Dahl. He still prefers bright picture books but likes the enormous crocodile and we’re on George’s marvellous medicine.

The ten little... books are good too. Helping the little one with his reading as well, recognising the number words and he can manage short words like zap.

Roald

The book with no pictures by B J Novak. Never fails to make them laugh!

My 6 year old loves the 13 Storey Tree House series, Diary of wimpy kid series and Roald Dahl.

He previously enjoyed horrid Henry series but is past those now.

Currently reading Harry Potter to my 6 year old, she loves it. My 2 year old loves all things Julie Donaldson at the minute

The My Naughty little sister series gets my 6 year old tears of laughter.

The Little Red Train books are also nice for the younger end of the age range.

There are some really nice Puffin anthologies - Five-Minute Stories and Fantastic First Poems are two big and durable favourites here.

'The book with no pictures'.

It's always a winner in this house 🙂
