A Box of Books

A friend of mine just gave me a box of books her children have outgrown.  Imagine how happy I was to discover classics, like Make Way for Ducklings, The Polar Express and Stellaluna.  It made me realize how many good children's books are out there.


Top 10 Baby/Toddler Books

In my opinion, that is.  They are fun for me to read, even over and over, which is necessary for this age group.  They all have great illustrations and really captivate my kids:


ABC: A Child's First Alphabet Book
Beautiful illustrations, I am still noticing new details after dozens of reads.
Big Red Barn Big Book
Love the illustrations, love the cadence of the book.
First 100 Words (Bright Baby)
Great book for photos and labeling pictures.
Daddy Kisses
My toddler loves these books, especially when I act them out.
Mommy Hugs
Noah and His Boat (Candle Playbook)
Fun pop-outs but a sturdy board book that can't be easily destroyed
Goodnight Moon
It's a classic.  Better for toddlers than babies.
The Runaway Bunny
Another classic by this wonderful author.
That's Not My Puppy
Great textures for baby to feel.
The Going-To-Bed Book
I like almost all the books by Boynton.

  1. Great list! I am always looking for new books for jack. We only have 2 of these... maybe this Christmas needs to be "book-giving" Christmas.
