Llama Llama Trick or Treat by Anna Dewdney, Board Book
This is a good book because it has realistic pictures and when babies are in their pointing phase it’s so cute to watch them point at all the pictures! Also helpful for toddler to understand the concept of dressing up in costumes a little better!
