2-ish:
Eric Carle – The Very Hungry Caterpillar

    Just 3:
Jan Pienkowski – Dinner time, Small Talk…. and others
Magret and H.A. Rey – Curious George books
John Burningham – Mr Gumpy (several titles)
Max Velthuijis – Frog is a Hero, Frog in Winter, Frog is Frightened
Janet and Allan Ahlberg – Funnybones (and others – Dinosaur Dreams, The Black cat etc)
Bill Peet – Hubert’s Hair-Raising Adventure (rhyming)
Authors and books to engage and interest your child for native speakers of English:
Games to try with your child – for family holidays etc:
Jenga
Snakes and Ladders
Monster match
Froggie
Puff the pop up dragon.
Ludo (quite long)
Dominoes
Chess for children.
Card games like Animal Snap.
If your child is into racing cars, Playmobil figures for inventing stories.
Phonic books with tapes such as the Ladybird series are also good for learning to read.
Magazines for children have games in and are good for travelling too - Chick-a-dee, or Winnie
the Pooh, or Thomas the Tank engine.
I usually buy small travel ones at the airport, or in the UK where
they cost CHF 5 - CHF 10 each!! But there are Swiss ones too
which are good – e.g. Kalle Kängu, or Monza.
There might be ones you can borrow until you decide
which to buy.
