Picture books for advanced under 3 reader!

My ds will be 3 at the end of June. He has started reading and this is causing all sorts of problems at bedtime. I try to say "Mum will read the story, look at the lovely pictures", but for the last week things have been ending in tears. He'll say "Goodnight should only have one g, take the other g off the book" or "of should have a 'v' not an 'f'".

Us reading a story has always been part of the bedtime routine though. So does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about a nice picture book, but nothing too babyish like a fish a ball and so on.

btw, I haven't been teaching him

The Wibbly Pig series of books are lovely

Thanks rubyslippers. I think that they all have words though? The ones we have do anyway.

the oxford reading tree scheme has a preliminary stage with no words

How about "Hug", "Tall" and "Yes" by Jez Alborough?

Lovely stories with wonderful illustrations but with pretty much just that single word repeated throughout.

Agree with geekgirl- we started dd1 on oxford reading tree at 3, you can buy the packs here.

I don't understand - if he is showing an interest in words & reading (bright boy), why do you want books with no words? It seems a
little regressive to me

Am I missing something?

Because he's having tantrums every bedime? I don't mind it during the day but it's not that relaxing.
