The Best Books for Toddlers

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.
