Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school Okay you book lovers..

My kids(2 and 4 years old) have been read quite a bit since their arrival on the planet. We have a very large collection of books at home and the librarians know my children very well haha. I want some good ideas for new awesome books to read to my cuties. So I would like to start a form where some of you can post your TOP TEN... Try to keep it at ten!! Books that your children and you have loved. It's hard to choose because there are just so many amazing ones but if you could only choose TEN OF THE ABSOLUTE BEST, what ones would you pick?

Welcome to the forum!!!

I had a look through my lists and here are 5 (well one is a collection) that my 3yo and I have been reading for quite some time now and we both still enjoy them a lot. The first 2 are more suited for a 2yo

Peepo! by Janet & Allan Ahlberg
Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet & Allan Ahlberg
Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr
Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen
Alfie books by Shirley Hughes

Winnie the Witch series (my son LOVED all these books from 18mth-3.5)
The Gruffalo (and other books by) Julia Donaldson
Usborne early reading series Alice in Wonderland (designed as an early chapter book which my son loved from 20mths)
anything Curious George

Elephant and Piggie (or anything by Mo Willems)
Shark in the Park (and other usborne phonics readers)
Slinky Malinky (from the Hairy MacClarey series)

For the younger one:
Going on a Bear Hunt
Postide pirates (and other barefoot books)

Mine are four and almost two, so I tend to read books that interest both. The Elephant and Piggie books are ODS's favorite books to read himself.
