Oooh I love book recommendations, I'll check those out - my little one is really into lifting up 'flaps' to find hidden things at the moment.
So how come you're reading German books too :)? I read Dutch books to O, the English ones we've got I translate 'on the go'. S
great suggestions. a few we love:
A Bad Case of Stripes, David Shannon
Little Bear, Else Holmelund Minarik
Fly High, Fly Low, Don Freeman
i'm not sure how old yours are, but isi (6) loved stick man by donaldson/scheffler and the bear with sticky paws by clara vulliamy. also the incredible book-eating boy by oliver jeffers. x
Red book by Barbara Lehman. No words, beautiful illustrations.
Great recommendations, we have been loving A Sick Day For Amos McGee, such a sweet story.
My girls love the tiger who came to tea so I´ll have a look at the other ones. Thanks!

My kids love The Gruffalo as well (and The Gruffalo's Child). An amazing Australian book is 'Fox' by Margaret Wild & Ron Brooks - unlike any other kids book we've ever read. Great message and beautifully illustrated and designed. Thanks for your list!
we also love Richard Scary. another favorite is Full Steam Ahead (the little red train) by Benedict Blathwayt - lovely stories and wonderful and very detailed illustrations!!!
Currently my 4yr old loves If I Built a Car by Chris van Dusen. He's almost memorized it. Another favorite: Pete's a Pizza by William Steig. We all love the classic Harold and the Purple Crayon, and for a longer story (novel) Matilda by Roald Dahl. Hoping to introduce them to Narnia and The Phantom Tollbooth when they're ready.
uh, ich wüsste gar nicht, wo ich anfangen sollte mit der lieblingsbücherliste ... gut gehen immer nadia buddes 1 2 3 tier und flosse, fell und federbett ... oder die reise nach amerika von robert gernhardt ... und wimmelbücher von mitgutsch in jeder form ... und natürlich alles von astrid lindgren und erich kästner ... oder was ich am allerliebsten mag ... oder wolf erlbruch, zb frau meier die amsel! ... oder christian morgenstern gedichte und lieder für kinder ... oder ... ich hör jetzt auf :)
My child loves Milo Armadillo and Knitting Nell.
The last one is really sweet.
Some of our favorites: Little Smudge by Lionel Le Neouanic, The Night Eater by Ana Juan, My Many Colored Days by Dr Seuss, Big Mama Makes the World by Phyllis Root...I love children's books so much. Cannot wait to check out your recommendations too!
