Any recommendations for books for a 3yo? DS’s long term favourites are Gruffalo, Gruffalos Child & Room on the Broom. These are the 3 he constantly goes for. Want to get him some more for Christmas but don’t know what to get!

Any Julia Donaldson books. They’re all fab.
books by Tom fletcher - there’s a monster in my book etc were great when mine were 3. Gets them involved.
Also liked the oi frog books. And Elmer books.
a random favourite at ours is “Alan’s big scary teeth” and “the hippobottomus”

Dig Dig Digging is great for that age. It was one of my sons favourites and one I was always happy to read.
Dinosaur Rescue was another favourite.
I would also recommend Franklin's Flying Bookshop - it might be better when he is slightly older but it is a great book and my 7 year old still enjoys it sometimes as a break between longer chapter books.

Mine adore the Alfie and Annie-Rose stories by Shirley Hughes. Alfie is about 3 in them so this is the perfect age.

Each peach, pear plum. All the Ahlberg books are great (funny bones, Peepo etc). My 3 year old loves the Mr Men and Little Miss books too and they are fun to read.

Paddington (there's a series of picture books, they're very good!)
