A lovely picture book for a 5 year old?

[Holidayshopping]

I want to buy a book but not something they probably already have-Julia Donaldson etc

Can anyone recommends something a bit different?! It’s for a boy but not a particularly boy-ish boy if that makes a difference?!

They're great aren't they BikeRunSki I've kept it too.

My four all completely loved the Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel - they were written in the Seventies but have stood the test of time beautifully. Quirky, funny and lovely.

Oh the places you'll go by Dr Seus read daily by my just 6 year old but loved it since she was 4

The Rabbit, the Dark and the Biscuit Tin was published in September so they're unlikely to have it. It is lovely - particularly the bit where you open the biscuit tin by lifting the flap!

I had it in French too Vitalogy, which I passed on to my hand French nephew and niece.

We love Frog and Toad too and The Little Bear Stories.
