Sticker Dolly Dressing: Dolls by Fiona Watt, Vici Leyhane and Stella Baggott (Usborne)
The Sticker Dolly Dressing Dolls activity book was my daughter’s favourite Christmas present. She loves stickers and was busy with this book for several days. Three dolls, Ellie, Daisy and Kitty, live in a doll’s house with their cat and their puppy and each double page spread features a different activity that they like doing…
The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr
My daughter has informed me that we have to put tiger food on our next shopping list (just in case a tiger comes to tea!).
Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
Our favourite Christmas Eve story is definitely Stick Man. It’s not immediately obvious that Santa is a part of this story but he comes to Stick Man’s rescue after a series of mishaps and adventures take him far away from his family.

Let’s Go Home Little Bear by Martin Waddell & Barbara Firth
Let’s Go Home Little Bear is one of my favourite picture books!

Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers
Lost and Found is one of our favourite picture books. It’s a beautiful story about the friendship between a boy and a penguin.
The Pirates Next Door by Jonny Duddle
The Pirates Next Door was one of the very first picture books that we read with our daughter. She loves the Jolley-Rogers’ pirate antics and I often find her poring over the little details in the pictures. We’ve bought this book for several friends and it’s fantastic that it has also been translated into German.
