As a former elementary teacher I couldn't help but start reading books to my baby the week she was born! These are our favorites that our now 1 year old STILL reaches for.
Â
We read this book almost every single night. It's short, cute, and the colorful pages always keep my baby interested!

Another favorite Sandra Boynton book! We love the silliness of this one and our daughter loves the different animal noises.
Moo, Baa, La La La!

Another favorite my baby reaches for again and again!

You really can't go wrong with any of the "You're My Little..." books. They are all so cute and the pictures are fun and adorable! My daughter loves the grabbing the cut-outs to turn the page.
