 | The Night Pirates by Peter Harris
Buy new: £3.26 / Used from: £0.01 Beautiful, dreamy illustrations that will send even the most stubborn wannabe-pirate to sleep.
|
 | The Great Paper Caper by Oliver Jeffers
Buy new: £3.88 / Used from: £1.40 One of Jeffers' less famous offerings, but probably his quirkiest. Great for kids who really love a good story as it's quite involved.
|
 | Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems

|
 | The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Buy new: £11.65 / Used from: £9.65 I used to sell about twelve of these every Christmas. Go into a bookshop and look at one of Robert Sabuda's creations and see if you can resist buying one.

 | The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales (Picture Puffin) by Jon Scieszka
Buy new: £4.71 / Used from: £0.01 The funniest children's book ever. Fact.
|
 | The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon by Mini Grey
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £1.48 Read this to yourself before you read it to your children, because it actually made me cry the first time. Very shameful.

|
 | Giraffes Can't Dance (Orchard Picturebooks) by Giles Andreae

|
 | Penguin by Polly Dunbar
Buy new: £3.87 / Used from: £0.01 Ohhh, this one is so wonderful! Really simple yet striking - and hilarious.
|
 | Mungo and the Picture Book Pirates by Timothy Knapman
Buy new: £4.72 / Used from: £2.38 I once caught Timothy Knapman taking a photo of a shelf review I'd written enthusing about his books. He was almost as excited as I was.
|
 | Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type (Clicka Clack Moo) by Doreen Cronin
