Our Favorite Toddler Books

As I was reading books to Graham the other day, and Elliana sat doing some of her ABC tracing at the table beside us, I couldn't help but remember how these books have been around since Elliana was little, how I read {and still read} these same books to her, and how they have helped be a major part of our children's learning.

I've always believed in the power of books, and I am so happy that my kids love books just as much as I do. It's a part of our every day and we read around 10 books during the day and at least 5 at night.  So I decided to show a list of our favorite books {out of hundreds} and those that both kids have enjoyed and those that I find to be most stimulating for their little brains.

I will list them from shortest to longest. The longer ones are obviously more ideal for the older toddler {starting at 2}, but the shorter ones are ideal for both the little ones {12 months+} as well as the older ones. Elliana still enjoys all of the books that we read to Graham, and usually chimes in from memorization.

All of these books are $10 or under, and most of them are on sale for $4-6. 

1. Moo Baa La La La

2. First 100 Words

3. A Cuddle For Little Duck

4. Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear? sound book

5. Ten Tiny Tickles (Classic Board Books)

9. F is for Farm (Touch and Feel (Priddy Books))

10. I Love You Through And Through

11. How Do I Love You?

12. You Are My I Love You: board book

13.  Z is for Zoo (Touch and Feel (Priddy Books))

14. The Very Hungry Caterpillar

15.  Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site

16. LeapFrog LeapReader Learn to Read, Volume 1 (works with Tag)

  1. My kiddos are a few years older than yours, my son is 6 and my daughter is 4 but they LOVE the book 'The Day the Crayons Quit' by Drew Daywalt, the illustrations are by Oliver Jeffers who has written a few books the kiddos like as well, 'How to Catch a Star' and 'Lost and Found', also great books. My daughter LOVES 'Princess and Fairy' by Anna Pignataro, the illustrations are fantastic and the story is sweet. Reading to your kids is SO important!
