Books for Toddlers

items Kids will tear up books, want more books, read them and leave them alone forever but overall, to get them engaged and seeing the books, and hearing us read and letting them play, creates imagination and starts the journey of reading. I didn't see the benefit when my first daughter was born, and she struggled in school for a while until we practiced over and over again. For my son after, we made sure to read and we definitely saw a difference in his grades and engagement with books currently as a teen. So now again, for my 2-year-old, I'm hoping to carry on reading as I saw first-hand how important reading was to get started. Even if it doesn't seem like it helps, it does!

Most of these were purchased and kept and are still read. My daughter is a fan of going to the book area, taking them all out and going through them herself in seconds. When I go up to it, she gets excited every time and will sit for any book we read. Just keep repeating the read and these few here, were always favorites. Enjoy
We already love the TV show but this was fun because it mimics the songs. She was a little over 1 possibly, we started reading this and others early on but this we shown the face ourselves as well - so once she was old enough, she started doing it and realizing emotions as well. It was fun!
This Is My Happy Face (Super Simple Board Books)
This book was a favorite because it was a little bit of hiding, involved lifting the tabs to see what's behind something and involved her belly button, something to touch - so it was very active and enjoyable. it was a must read every day, multiple times

Good Night, Farm: A Touch-and-Feel Storybook
This book impressed me, just because of the layout. It was hands on, interactive, fun to read and our daughter loved it. I just remember our books back in my day, were nothing like this so it was fun for me to read too!
Peekaboo: Sun - Interactive Board Book w/ Mirror & Sliders
This was bought as a gift and if you're in the very first stages of reading, it was fun because the colors are vibrant, it's things the baby can easily grasp and it's not too much going, so it's easy for baby to focus.
First 100 Words: A padded board book
I love these books and this one is cute and it also has an app online where the kids can engage in. It's free but limits the stuff you do until you purchase but just using the free, our daughter enjoyed it so this book was perfect to match up with

This was very busy for my daughter, she's 2 so a little young but she does know how to count some, her colors, the alphabet a little so this was good add-on practice. It did require me to be with her but it's a great way to teach them many things be...
iHarPro Busy Book Montessori Toys for Kids
Toddler play books
All my other kids loved the books where it makes noises and you can press buttons and their interactive like LeapFrog but my daughter does not like certain sounds and things scare her easy, these have been a success with her
This is a little advanced, so it wasn't the go-to book initially, it took some time and us to really engage. We had to go through a few times to show her how to understand it but once she did, she engaged on her own and had fun.
LeapFrog Learning Friends 100 Words Book, Green
This still lives after 1 year :) it lets you do so many different things with the book, lots of stuff to keep up with after so keep in one place if you can. It's not an everyday book because it's not ready but it was us making up stuff to her and playing and then she took over

This is a large book, lots of buttons and lots to look at. It was a bit intimidating for our daughter at first, I thought she'd love all the animals but we had to review it slowly for her attention span but once we did that, she could do all the animals herself and tell us each one
