Tilly Tales Books in Order

The Tilly Tales books are short, funny picture books about everyday family life seen at child height. Tilly is at the center of the series, surrounded by parents, grandparents, her little brother Charlie, Auntie Lottie, and Lottie's very tall friend Asaf. The stories stay small on purpose, which makes them easy for young readers to follow and easy for adults to read aloud.

Each book starts with something ordinary and lets it wobble into gentle chaos. In My Silly Auntie, babysitting turns silly fast. Daddy's New Shed makes home improvement feel like a family farce. Granny's Cat becomes a mission to win over a stubborn pet, while Tilly's Sandcastle turns a vanished beach creation into a child-sized mystery. Even Christmas gets the Tilly treatment in A Very Tilly Christmas.

The stakes are small, which is exactly the point.

What children get here is the pleasure of recognition. Adults say odd things, plans go wrong, pets refuse to cooperate, and a small problem can feel huge for a while. The books understand that rhythm. They take familiar places, a kitchen, a garden, a grandparent's house, the beach, and make them feel exciting enough without tipping into anything too scary or overwhelming.

The tone stays warm and playful. There is mischief, mess, and the odd wobble, but the world of the series is affectionate and safe. That makes the books a good fit for shared reading, bedtime, or early independent readers who want clear sentences, bright illustrations, and quick emotional payoffs.

Silent Sid even shifts the spotlight onto Lottie and Asaf, which gives the wider family a chance to be just as funny as Tilly.

If you are wondering what to expect across the set, think repeating family faces, simple setups, and cheerful endings. These are not books about big villains or heavy lessons. They are about laughter, curiosity, and the way a normal day can become a story when you are little. Reading them in order helps children settle into the family, but each one also works perfectly well as a stand-alone read.
