My kids sadly are now too old for picture book bedtime stories but we still have all of Julia Donaldson’s books on the bookshelf because we (I) can’t bear to part with them. I love her clever rhyming stories and Axel Scheffler’s illustrations are the perfect accompaniment. I think The Gruffalo and The Snail and the Whale are our 2 all-time faves. Enjoy them all…precious times

Wow! I do think we underestimate them! They enjoy books much sooner than we think!!

My little one has really taken to The Stick Man in the last few days. I am surprised. But she picks 2 books to read every night at bedtime and she has started picking this one saying “Stick Man” – I guess it’s cos it has a repetitive bit on every page. She’s 21 months

oooh! Now there’s an idea!!! I have seen the jigsaw books before (we have a farm one), but didn’t know you could get the Gruffalo as one… Fab! Will have to investigate and add to our ever growing wishlist!!!! x

We have two of their books as jigsaw books. They are great, my just 3 year old can just about do the 12 piece jigsaw and gets so much play out of both story and jigsaw – and they too exist in English and German! We have the Gruffalo’s Child and The Snail and the Whale as jigsaw books, but others are available too.
