Looking for new book suggestions for DS (3).

We already have
Julia Donaldson
Beatrice Potter
AA Milne
Mog books
Frances books
Emily brown books
5 little monkeys books
Mayo books

And a few others.

Any advice welcome, he's currently bored of everything except he has a strange obsession with the Taylor of Gloucester but I can't see that lasting...

The little red train books
The Usborne spotters guides
Poppy and Sam books
The Usborne books where you have to find things on each page - say 3 gobies, 2 wizards, 10 spoons - can’t remember what they’re called but my ds loved them
Jez Alborough books - duck in a truck etc

Gobies = goblets

Sue Hendra books, can get them all in a collection from The Book People for about £12. Supertato is especially a favourite here.
The Oi Frog, Oi Dog etc books also popular here.

Thanks all! So far:

The book people are sold out of sue hendra sets and I've optimistically joined the waitlist for new stock as it was an awesome deal

He LOVES Harry and the bucket of dinosaurs

Is enjoying the hairy maclary

And is intrigued by the paddington as long as I skip the talky bits. I think he'll grow into it.

Lots of other things on here to work our way through so hope we're good for a while 🙂
