Richard Scarry's books are great with wonderful illustrations. It is a great way to get children to talk. Not only you can scaffold their language but also learn a lot about your child's understanding of the world. Richard Scarry's Biggest Word Book Ever is very big indeed and my two little people love sitting on the sofa and reading this book.
Both kids reading the book together
Babar... I know this character is a classic but we had never read it before. Until last month. We are in love with Babar. Such heartwarming beautiful stories. For some reason, I had always thought this series is more suitable for under 3s. How wrong! Defne (almost 7 yo) loved these books. Both books give some important messages without being didactic. We will definitely read the rest of the series.
Peter Reynolds: I am totally in love with his illustrations and his books. We first come across his books at the library earlier this year. I highly recommend his set Creatrilogy that contains 3 of his books for little art lovers.
Last but not least, I want to talk about Oliver Jeffers' The Day The Crayons Quit. A funny and well thought out book about a child's crayons who quit. Each and everyone has their own reasons. This book will have your child think about how they use colours whilst painting.
