Julia Donaldson books

[Queensize]

Ds is very into Julia Donaldson's books and he seems to have his favourite on rotation. There are some I flipping hate reading over and over - some or just too repetitive but he seems to love those! The Smartest Giant is not one I enjoy... I do like Monkey Puzzle though. What are your favourites/least favourites?

Jack and the Flum Flum Tree! My class adores this each year and they are 8-9 years old.

We also love the Gruffalo and Room on the Broom. Monkey Puzzle also a favourite!

@MrsAlbertaWhisker I haven't heard of Jack and the flum flum tree! The gruffalo never gets old. We also like Charlie Cook's Favourite Book.

I love them all, I particularly enjoy The scarecrow's wedding and Tiddler. Also love what the ladybird heard.

I only like Squash and a Squeeze and the Gruffolo.

I don't mind Snail and the Whale.

I can't stand the Giant one or Stick Man.

Tabby McTat. Love it.
Not fussed about The Gruffalo.
Bloody love Room On The Broom.

Fav is Charlie Cook's Favourite Book. Controversially not keen on Zog.

Flum Flum Tree is a joy to read aloud. Absolutely one of my favourites. There’s another one I quite like which I discovered last year. Something about a fish that tells porkie pies why he’s late for school then one day something really does happen to make him late and the teacher doesn’t believe him. I want to say Tiddler?

Oh Tabby McTat YES!

Tiddler was always the favourite in our house

Tiddler?! Tiddler?! TIDDLER’S LATE!!!

Yes that's Tiddler @MrsAlbertaWhisker

Tabby McTat makes me cry!

Recently I've read The Smeds and The Smoos and also The Teeny Weeny Genie a lot, and loved them both.

Tiddler, Charlie Cook, Super Worm and Dot the Hospital Dog are current faves.

We conveniently 'lost' scarecrow's wedding - it's terrible. I'm also not a fan of smartest giant.

My faves are highway rat, tabby mctat and room on the broom.

My favourites are The Gruffalo, The Snail and the Whale, Monkey Puzzle and Night Monkey Day Monkey and Room on the Broom.

I nearly forgot The Scarecrows Wedding! I love that one!

My dd LOVED Rosie hat!

And Sharing a Shell! I should have just said them all 😂

I love snail and the whale. I was pregnant with my second when I first read it to ds and welled up a bit at the end 😅
I also like the everywhere bear, monkey puzzle and Zog. Not keen on the highway rat or Charlie Cook though

Have you found Cave Baby? It’s one of our favourites. It’s illustrated by the wonderful Emily Gravett which makes a welcome change from Axel Scheffler.

Julia has written over 200 books. Charlie Cook is current favourite in our house.

I like them all. The snail and the whale is fab.

I love The Princess and the wizard, room on a broom, stick man, a squash and a squeeze and tiddler.

Not so keen on superworm, monkey puzzle, Charlie cooks favourite book.

A Squash and a Squeeze is a better read

and Tabby McTat

The singing mermaid - but maybe that's because it was the first one we read.

I like the fact she solved her own problem she didn't need to be rescued, though she did have a bit of help from friends.

What the Ladybird Heard. Even I can manage voices for that one!

Tabby McTat makes me cry too, I feel so sad at the thought of that lovely man waking up in hospital alone, then returning to find his cat has gone. I do love the ending too, and the obvious London area.

Also enjoy Tiddler and Room on the Broo.

The rest I can take or leave
