My three year old LOVES being read to and can easily cuddle on the couch for an hour reading. While I’ve found that there are lots of perfectly fine stories out there, I am absolutely delighted when we find books that are entertaining and enjoyable for me too. I’d love some recommendations in that vein! What picture books are just fun to read out loud?

Any Julia Donaldson books – The Gruffalo is a classic, but I have a real soft spot for Room On The Broom and The Snail And The Whale, and The Paper Dolls is a brilliant introduction to dementia.
As she gets a bit older, the Chris Riddell illustrated versions of Alice In Wonderland and Alice Through The Looking Glass are absolutely gorgeous.
Piggy Pie – Margie Pallatini.
Moosetache by Margie Palatini is a favorite of my preschoolers currently as is Don’t Open This Book (Go Read Something Else) by Andy Lee
The Disney vintage 90s books! Are very nostalgic and also very nice to read out loud I find it very wholesome.
Jan Brett books have fabulous illustrations that are a joy to look at for any age.
Animalia by Graeme Base (and when they’re older, The Eleventh Hour).
I loved reading books by Mary Ann Hoberman because her poetry is charming. My all-time favorite is Seven Silly Eaters, and runner up is A House is a House for Me.
Karma Wilson is also pleasant for adults to read (Bear Snores On).
The Monster at the End of this Book with Grover from Sesame Street is so fun.
Unicorns Are the Worst
Where the Wild Things Are
Knight Owl
The Wonky Donkey
