🧸 Interactive & Lift-the-Flap Faves
Books that spark curiosity with flaps, textures, or peekaboo surprises—perfect for little hands that love to explore.
This is so nostalgic for me as a mom, and my little one loves it! We change the tone on every “no” and she thinks it is hilarious!
Where's Spot
This book is so fun and the flaps are pretty repetitive “no”. As baby starts to talk its a great way to learn and repeat, they can “read" along with you!
Where Is Baby's Beach Ball?
Our little one has recently discovered this book and she loves it! She loves the pop up creatures when she lifts the flaps!
Pop-Up Peekaboo! Ocean
Our girly is OBSESSED with this book. Its great for fine motor too as she does the interactions of the book while we read
Peekaboo: Apple
A funny Disney Peek-A-Boo! We love the peekaboo books and its been teaching our daughter to say and play Peek-A-Boo
Pop-Up Peekaboo! Disney Winnie the Pooh
Our little one loves Bluey, so this book has been perfect for a fun reading time!

😂 Books That Make Her Laugh
The ones that get the giggles going—silly sounds, funny characters, or a perfectly timed “UH OH!”
Our little one LOVES this book. She picks it up for us to read and says “Roar” because when we roar for the bear she thinks it is hilarious!
The Very Cranky Bear
✋ Touch & Feel Favorites
Sensory-rich books that keep little fingers busy and curious. Soft, bumpy, fuzzy—these books are all about the feels (literally).
This is one of the first books are little one was drawn too! The different patterned textures throughout the book were her fave!
Never Touch a Koala
We started getting her multiple of these books and she loves them all! This one was perfect for Easter/Spring!
Never Touch the Grumpy Chicks
Another touch and feel book that our little one loves! The different textures have her interact while we read, and it is teaching her what each texture is called
That's not my panda...
We have started buying all these books as our daughter loves them and the textures inside!
