Hello,

We have lots of books but I'm always on the hunt for new ones 😊

What are your book recommendations for 4 to 5 year olds.....?

I picked up one the other day , "all through the night ", I thought it was lovely and my DC love it!

What are yours?

A Song in the Mist
Mouse's Wood
The Boy with Flowers in His Hair
I Love You Like Yellow
Amy's Three Best Things
Beekle
Nigel and the Moon

The Stars Are Playing Football, great illustrations and an easy, fun read, esp. if you like football -but even if you don't!

endgame67 · 17/03/2023 17:19

Anything by Jon Klassen (especially the hat series) or Mo Willems (really love Knuffle Bunny and the Elephant and piggie series)

FisherThem · 17/03/2023 17:37

The Sophie books by Dick Kung-Smith

SuperGinger · 17/03/2023 17:47

Claude by Alex T Smith. If they aren't yet reading, The book with No pictures. The dark. Mathilda by Roald Dahl.

I've just been having a clear out and have four crates of books, it has brought back so many memories.

TheVeryHungryTortoise · 17/03/2023 18:44

Recently discovered "Billy and the..." series and my four year old boy loves them. Billy and the Dragon is probably his favourite right now.

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 17/03/2023 18:48

I absolutely wouldn’t read Matilda to my 4 year old! There’s plenty of time for chapter books when they’re older.

Space Tortoise by Ross Montgomery
Sophie Johnson by Morag Hood
Penguin by Polly Dunbar

Dogs don't do Ballet and Funny Bones were both very popular with my DC.
