Books for Babies: Baby Shower Edition
10
items Listen friends!!! 🤣 I am a firm believer in buying gifts off a registry except in one case…….baby showers! The educator in me has to buy books for baby to be. The mom and dad to be don't always add books to their registries but they truly are a need and they are fun! Books leave lasting memories and impressions for the baby and the parents. I like to think I am helping make these memories when I gift books. 📚 Here is a list of my favorite books to gift an expecting mom and dad.
This is a classic book that should be in every nursery. It is a simple book but one that my kids loved me reading over and over. My kids loved saying the last line when I read to them - “Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.” ...

Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins
This story is about a napping granny and all those who join her in her bed. The repetitive pattern makes the book fun to read and listen to! The pictures always had my kids giggling as they saw one more get in the bed. You can guess what happens in...

THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR by Eric Carle
In this book, Peter goes out to enjoy the first snow of winter. This book is just nostalgic. It just reminds you of the beauty of snow and how much you may have enjoyed your first time playing in the snow. It is innocence wrapped up in a little board book. An excellent title for any home library.
