I recently discovered Shinsuke Yoshitake: "I won't give up my rubber band" is a sweet, imaginative, thoughtful exploration of the thing we get attached to in our lives. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58739625-i-won-t-give-up-my-rubber-band https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58739625-i-won-t-give-up... "I wonder where I am" is a exploration of maps in various forms, a bit over my 2.5 year old's cognitive abilities, but I think it's great. Can't wait until he's able to get it.: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204810909-i-wonder-where-i-am https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204810909-i-wonder-where... The books from Julia Donaldsson are classics. I am partial to Gozzle: Gozzle https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gozzle-Julia-Donaldson/dp/1529076412 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gozzle-Julia-Donaldson/dp/152907641... The snail and the whale: https://www.amazon.com/Snail-Whale-Julia-Donaldson/dp/1509830448 https://www.amazon.com/Snail-Whale-Julia-Donaldson/dp/150983... My kid had a loooong "The hospital dog" phase: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hospital-Dog-Julia-Donaldson/dp/1509868313 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hospital-Dog-Julia-Donaldson/dp/150... I skipped some of the native romanian books we read since there are no known translations that I am aware of. One of the main reasons I want to teach my toddler english is so that we can appreciate a wider selection of books, because there are many books not translated in Romanian. I also noticed that the quality of the translation matter immensely, probably more than for normal books. And a lot of books just don't translate all that well because they rely on rimes or alliterations.
