Guest Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to find a core book list for 2-5 year olds please. I'm sure a ready made list must excist somewhere. We will be a bilingual setting so dual language books will be a definate but I have some help with that side of things. (They wont only be one language) I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for! Any ideas or links greatly appreicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Perhaps you could collect from us all on here our childrens favourites books and compile a list that way? For instance on my list would defintely be: The Gruffalo A squash and a squeeze Any of the Hairy McClary books Shark in the Park Peace at Last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Will I do, sunnyday? Here's the thread! Maz Of course you will 'do' Maz - it is a running joke between Cait and I that I can't add a link - she has gone to great trouble to show me how to do it - but I still shout for her when needed!

AnonyMouse_8466 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Makes her feel loved and wanted too! Wonder if there's a book about that subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_6008 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We have about 40% of our children with English as 2nd Language, and almost all of them have a strong preference for Walking Through the Jungle. I must admit our current copy is English only, but we've had dual language versions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) I'd heard this as well- something along the lines of so many traditional tales 3 pigs etc, poss hungry caterpillar and some rhyme books and songs. It was talked about during school transition chats so maybe reception class teachers may know? Ours have preferences for rhyming books, Julia Donaldson is the key author, anything to do with animals and anything a little bit 'gruesome' 3 pigs bring hunted by the wolf etc!!

Guest Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Lots of great ideas! I had a look at the web link - forgotten the name, there is a nursery set but I can't seem to open the actual list of books! I also had a look at the list created/started by Maz!!! WOW, quite something! I'm not sure what I would have put as I've been out of a setting for 7 months and can't think, but I'm surprised no one put Three Billy Goats Gruff. No I just need to find out what the book budget is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I was searching for a core book list for 3-5's several of the above named ones are what i imagine to be included.
