If you are ever in the States, there is an Eric Carle Museum in western Massachusetts which is dedicated to children's book illustrations. Also, you can find Eric Carle books in other languages, which is a great way to introduce vocabulary.
Such an amazing video, thank you Jen! I really want to get my baby some books for my baby’s first birthday which is coming up in a couple of months, so many amazing recommendations here
Have you read Library Lion by Michelle Knudson, Jen? It's a story about prejudices and acceptance with the most beautiful illustrations...and it's set in the children's section of a library. Bought recently in a charity shop for a friend's little one and I'll absolutely be buying a copy for me too.
Each Peach Pear Plum by the same authors as Peepo was my favourite book as a kid! Has the fun vibe of things in the background, and then the next page they're in the foreground. My Gran had it so whenever I would stay with her I would read it, including as a teenager, because the rhymes are just fun to say! Honestly I still love it, maybe I should get myself a copy lol
Thank you Jen! So many great ideas for gifts to my friends’ kids! (Mine is almost 19, and I am not Eng native, so this is all very new and exciting for me, might keep some for myself though😂)
Jen you're always coming through with recommendations for all kids in my family! I got them the Luna and Franklin books already but some of these will definitely come in handy soon! Thank you!
Thank you for compiling this brilliant list. There were quite a few on there that we own, have read or heard of, or have gifted to other people, but many that we hadn’t 🥰 I definitely need to buy The Girl Who Loves Bugs for my little wildling. She’d love it.
Some recommendations from us to you: - The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming and Nicola Slater - Me and My Fear by Francesca Sanna - The Bear and Bird books by Jarvis - Bear’s Scare, and Bear Out There by Jacob Grant - I’m Not Scary, and I’m Not Sleepy by Raahat Kaduji - Mama and Mummy and Me in the Middle by Nina Lacour and Kaylani Juanita - Doris by Lo Cole - Betty and the Mysterious Visitor by Anne Twist and Emily Sutton - Bathe the Cat by Alice B. McGinty - On Sudden Hill by Linda Sarah and Benji Davies - I Am Not an Octopus by Marc Boutavant and Eoin McLaughlin - Barbara Throws a Wobbler by Nadia Shireen - The Last Stardog by Emily Mosley
We borrowed Mouse’s wood from the library on your recommendation, and I think it’s the most beautiful book I’ve ever read 😭. My 4yo has been requesting it every night, so I’ve bought our own copy, and am gifting it for Christmas to anyone I can think of 😅. Thanks!
Oh my goodness! I though it was just me who felt that about '10 Little fingers and 10 little toes'. It was at a toddler group I went to, but no one else seemed bothered so thought I was being OTT. 'Ableist nonsense' is a much better way of describing how I felt about it.
It seems so ridiculous to me that a book sets out to show the reader that everyone is the same no matter the colour of their skin, where they’re from etc etc but decides to use physical appearance as the uniting factor. 🙈 Everyone is the same…apart from disabled children 🙃 yuk x
Hej Jen, thank you so much for this video, I am a preschool teacher in the US and I didn't know some of the books:) Just ordered a bunch:)do you know the books by Aleksandra Mizielinska Maps? My preschoolers and my kids love them.
Hey, I just started reading “The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night”. I bought it when it came out but I guess I’ve just been saving it 😆 Bought it from Bookdepository, I miss that website so much 😭 I’ve only finished the first story “Animals” and I’m surprised it’s horror, how season appropriate 🥰
You've listed so many of my favorites, plus some new ones I'm excited to check out! I'm a children's librarian, so I'm going to try to reign myself in, but have you read any of these? I feel like they'd all very much be up your alley, but I'm not sure about their UK availability (I'm based in the US): Little Witch Hazel by Phoebe Wahl Me & Mama by Cozbi A. Cabrera Pokko and the Drum by Matthew Forsythe The Book of Mistakes by Corinne Lukyen Sparky by Jenny Offill and Chris Appelhans Life by Cynthia Rylant and Brendan Wenzel Jerome by Heart by Thomas Scotto and Olivier Tallec Professional Crocodile by Giovanna Zoboli and Mariachiaria Di Giorgio The Sea Serpent and Me by Dashka Slater and Catia Chien Harriet Gets Carried Away by Jessie Sima Sato the Rabbit by Yuki Ainoya
Also, Where Is the Green Sheep is one of my favorites to read in our baby time at work! Have you done any Sandra Boynton? I'm not sure if she's big in the UK, but she's a board book staple in the US!
Ann Cleaves North Cumberland area vera.Dark wives u might like to check out comes from where you came from..I can hear her accident. Gordy she talks about . interesting would of never know what that is.Take Care

Omg, what a trip down memory lane! I used to adore the German translation of „Peace at last“ when my father read it to me 🥹
♥️
Gosh what a fabulous video, thank you for taking the time. Have added quite a few to my Christmas list for the little ones in my life!
♥️
What a treasure trove! I’ll be returning to this video often for auntie inspiration😊 thank you!

You should! ☺️ we have that book, too, but she’s not into it yet. When she can point at things, I think she will be x

I've just entered my second trimester, so this video is a great resource for starting a book list for baby x
Wishing you all the best! x

I must recommend to you The Magical Yet by Angela DiTerlizzi and illustrated by Lorena Alvarez Gómez. It’s so beautiful and such a cute story :)
I gifted all the Franklin & Luna books to myself (and had them all signed by you & Katie Harnett!) they are the most beautiful books ever
♥️ thank you x

Hej Jen, thank you so much for this video, I am a preschool teacher in the US and I didn't know some of the books:) Just ordered a bunch:)do you know the books by Aleksandra Mizielinska Maps? My preschoolers and my kids love them.
Hi Jen
i like the children book you can open flaps and c things inside such s surprise..
I want to recomment „the book of dirt“ from Piotr Socha. The illustrations are so good and also the text.
This was such a fun video! ❤
☺️
Thanks so much, lots of ideas to add to our collection/ find in the library!
We also correct dear zoo - but so that they’re not all ‘he’!
Haha, yes!! x
Thanks a lot, Jen!
You’re very welcome! x
Thanks for this! ✨💚

Hope you like it! If you’re not already aware, Blackwell’s do free international delivery, so that might be a good replacement site for you x

That was extremely lovely ❤
