Interactive
Pop ups, Touch & Feel, Pop toys, Sounds - My daughter loves to flip, touch, pull, push anything and everything. These are some of her absolute favorites.
A super cute touch & feel AND pop up book. It's a sturdy board book with multiple kinds of flaps & pop ups. Plus the entire pages are textured so there's lots for them to feel and explore
Dinosaurs!
This entire line of books is a huge hit in our house. These pop mats are one of my daughters favorite toys. Helps build fine motor skills and keeps her occupied long enough to actually read the entire story
Never Pop a Unicorn!
This entire line of pop up books is on repeat in our house. She LOVES flipping open the pages. And the pages are thick and sturdy enough for her to do on her own.
Pop-Up Peekaboo!
These Scholastic books are a staple for a reason. There are ton of different variations/themes and they have tons of interactive elements - felt flaps, textures, pop mats, etc
Scholastic Early Learners: My Busiest Book Ever
This one is a little niche, but if you too find yourself in a car/truck/vehicle obsession phase, a book like this with wheels will be a huge hit.
Rescue Trucks
Again, maybe a little niche. But as a female software engineer I love sharing this kind of stuff with my daughter. Plus it has flaps on each page she can flip!
I Can Code: If/Then
The only sound book we have - but it's well loved. Helps with find motor skills and object recognition.
Little Listeners: My First Words
Board Books
Since we're currently in the independent page turning stage, these are a must right now (because we don't yet know “gentle hands”)
As a woman in engineering, so it's important to me to have books that show all kinds of people doing all kinds of jobs and activities.
Future Baby: Future Engineer
A classic for a reason! Bright, graphic images with a fun rhyming story.
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
This book is adorable and the layered/nested cutouts make it fun enough to keep my daughter interested.
8 Little Planets
I literally have this book memorized at this point. I probably read it about a dozen times a day. It reads almost like a song which my daughter LOVES
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Another series I love. I had brain quest cards as a kid and this is a similar idea but simplified in board book form. Each page has simple questions and facts to correspond to the images
My First Brain Quest
One of my personal favorite series. I get these for every season and cycle them as the seasons change. They're the perfect bedtime routine books.
You're My Little
Another great bedtime read! My daughter loves pointing out animals in every book, and this one follows a cat trying to catch the moon.
Kitten's First Full Moon
Picture Books
These are a slightly older age range but I like having things I can read out loud to her and have for the future
This series in insanely cute! The images take up the entire pages and the story itself is simple yet sweet.
Knight Owl
An adorable and beautiful picture book with a twist on the classic “Cinderella ball” tale.
Maiden & Princess
Part of the same series - a prince & knight save the kingdom and live happily ever after
Prince & Knight
A great bedtime book. A beautifully illustrated book about moon phases through the lens of a young girl sneakily eating a mooncake
A Big Mooncake for Little Star
Another award winner. This is a sweet book based on 2 real life penguins
And Tango Makes Three
