What's Your Favourite Picture Book?

I like Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson and The Tiger that Came to Tea by Judith Kerr.

What is your favourite. I'm also looking for some slightly quirky ones or less well known ones.

'That is Not a Good Idea' by mo Williams, it makes me hoot

The monster at the end of this book. Absolute banger of a book.

Angelo by David McCauley is my favourite of all time

Love anything by Oliver Jeffers, Jon Klassen

Paper Dolls makes me cry

This is the Rope by Jacquline Wilson tells the story of the American Great Migration across generations and is stunning

All kids should know these playwriters : weareactors.com/playwrights/

I like the Large Family books by Jill Murphy.

Anything by Shirley Hughes obviously,

The iconic wordless picture book, Window by Jeannie Baker, is perfect for use (twinkl.co.uk) Love this book. We've had it for over 20 years and its still fresh .

Not now Bernard by David McKee.Perfection!
Tuesday and Flotsam by David Weinberg are no words and absolutely beautiful illustrations.
Tell me a Dragon by Jackie Morris. Gorgeous!
The Little Miss and Little Master board books are great too. Little Miss Austen Sense and Sensiblilty, Little Master Stoker Dracula and Little Master Melville Moby Dick are our favs.
Mine are too old now, but we all enjoy a flick through the old favs every now and again.

I love the Shirley Hughes books, such beautiful illustrations 🥰

Two very oscure ones are my favourites:

Meet The Grumblies
The Book With No Pictures

House by Mouse by George Mendoza. Beautiful illustrations, sadly out of print now
