As much as I try to encourage it, Big Brother A usually has better things to do than sit and read books. We always read a book or two before nap and bedtime, and he will sometimes ask for a couple other books throughout the day. He is currently in a stage where he must ask about every single thing in every picture, so it can take a while to get through the books...

I bought this book around the time he turned 2, but he has only recently started showing interest in it. It has great illustrations and some great rhyming in addition to a great message about working together.

Z is for Zoo
Roger Priddy
This was an early favorite, and A keeps coming back to this book. A loves to see and touch the different materials on each page, and he especially loves to find the animals hiding under the large flaps.
The Very Lonely Firefly/The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Eric Carle
Again, I think the illustrations are a big reason why these two books are favorites. These books also have a lot of repetition which makes it easy for young kids to catch on.

An Awesome Book
Dallas Clayton
This is a really wild and wacky book that encourages kids to really use their imagination. I would not have picked this on my own, but we received it as a gift and A really gets a kick out of it. It has a great message of not being afraid to dream big.

Ten In the Bed
Penny Dale
This has been a staple of our bedtime routine for over a year. This version is a nice twist on the classic song.

I Spy Board Books
Jean Marzolo
These are really great, and allow very young kids to have fun with the I Spy books. A likes to "read" these by himself and find all the pictures.

He also loves any and all lift the flap books and some Dr. Seuss.
What is your toddler reading?

Those are great books. I still do a lot of board books with Madison. I'll have to keep these on my list for when Madison is older. I tried the flap books and she tears them apart. Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteThese are great books. We love the Eric Carle books as well. Our littles seem to have similar taste. I'm looking into a few of these. I always love more books!
