items As a former elementary teacher, and lifelong book reader I’ve been diving into the world of board books for my baby now turned toddler. These are some of our favorites at the moment. Most we started looking at and reading when he was 8-10 months old ...
My son started “reading” this by himself around 10 months. Now at 22 months he still brings it to me.
See, Touch, Feel (A First Sensory Book) - by Roger Priddy (Hardcover)
Such a great classic.
Goodnight Moon - By Margaret Wise Brown ( Hardcover )
My son’s absolute favorite book right now. Great rhyming words and works wonderful for our bedtime routine.
Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site (Hardcover) by Sherri Duskey Rinker
We absolutely love all of the “that’s not my…“ Books. They are great for young toddlers because it has few words and textures on each page to help keep their attention.
That's Not My Dinosaur... - by Fiona Watt (Board Book)
My son is 22 months old and absolutely loves this book. He just started getting interested in vehicles and being able to see all the different types as well as hear them is very entertaining for him and keeps his attention. There are quite a few othe...
Noisy Trucks - (My First) by Tiger Tales (Board Book)
This is a wonderful book for toddlers because you can add so much movement and emphasis in a simple book. Books do not only have to be read when sitting down or sitting on a couch. My 22 month old son absolutely loves this book. He brings it to me al...
Jump Around|Board Book
Perfect book for any toddler or young kid who is interested in vehicles and trucks. This book is really cool because as you turn the pages the truck disappears and then you were left with a few or number of trucks. Each truck is slightly squishy, whi...
10 Mighty Trucks - by Rosie Greening (Board Book)
Lift the flat books are great for toddlers because it helps to keep their attention and focus. This book also has textured elements on the pages that you can use for finger tracing or just feeling the pages. My son loves this book, especially because...
The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Forest Hide & Seek - (World of Eric Carle) by Eric Carle (Board Book)
This is such a great classic board book for kids. Wonderful message, simple words and engaging rhymes to help with language and patterns and predictions.
Little Blue Truck (Padded Board Book) - by Alice Schertle (Board_book)
This lift the flap book has super thick chunky flaps. Each page is crammed full of so many animals pictures things for toddlers to see find look at and identify and it gives a ton of information about farm life as well.
Cottage Door Press Peek-A-Flap Moo Book
This is not necessarily a read with your toddler book but my son will sit looking at this book for 10 to 15 minutes, which at not even two years old is a very long time.
Little Hide and Seek: Farm
One of my top books for reading before nap or bedtime. All of the books in this “you’re not my little…“ Series are so cute and perfect for young toddlers.
You're My Little Cuddle Bug (Board Book) (Nicola Edwards)
This is a fun almost 2 in one book. The larger flaps have the Mom and the smaller flap has the babies. Right now my son and I are just reading it page by page but as he gets older, I will have him go through and match the animals together.
You Are My Baby: Farm
Not a board book which makes me nervous, but every time my son reads this book he seriously surprises me by learning a new animal name or sound.
World of Eric Carle, Hear Bear Roar 30 Animal Sound (Hardcover)
Love that these books have felt flaps. So much easier for little fingers to manipulate and less risk of ripping.
Where's the Dog? - by Ingela P Arrhenius (Board Book)
Any books that involve sound effects have been great at keeping engagement and attention of toddlers.
Doggies by Sandra Boynton (Board Book)
Make sure to have a camera when you read this book the first few times. Wish I could share the fully belly giggles and laughter from my son when I introduced this book to him. So entertaining. And also great at working on colors.
Blue Hat, Green Hat - By Sandra Boynton ( Board Book )
