Judy
Garfield
Snoopy
Calvin +Hobbes (I was a bit older)
Prepping for a radio slot about the best children's books 2021.
These two have left a lasting impression on me this year:
I Talk Like a River by Jordan Scott and Sydney Smith
and When I See Red by Britta Teckentrup
How about you? What books have left a lasting impression?

Some beautifully written Irish fantasy books for age 9+ - all full of wonder, mystery and adventure. With some cracking characters too!

Is Paddy Donnelly the hardest working person in children's books? This year he's published a whopping 4 picturebooks + Hom has been nominated for a Kate Greenaway Award for illustration.
Here they are - 3 he illustrated plus he wrote+illustrated The Vanishing Lake. #BookElves2021
King Baby by Kate Benton is hilarious and perfect for kids who like funny #Picturebooks.

I can't wait to recommend some of my favourite picturebooks and baby books! This beauty is one I gift to a lot of new babies - Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes by Mem Fox and Helen Oxenbury. It's adorable.👶
