Yummy Yucky

My toddler thinks this book is hilarious. During the day he likes to be quizzed about all kinds of things that are yummy or yucky!

My Car & Green Eggs and Ham

My 29 month old loves these books. He can retell the story in My Car and listens so intently to Green Eggs and Ham. He's starting to sit through the Thomas and Friends books too.

Great Toddler Books

I don't know what else to add to this already great list of toddler books, although "Goodnight Moon" seems to missing, and it is definitely a classic and great for putting the kids to bed! :)

Toddler's favourite book

My 10-month-old loves "Snuggle Up Little Ones", a book about the animals snuggling up for bedtime. It has great pastel pictures and it rhymes throughout.

My toddler loves "No No Yes Yes"

My little one loves this book, especially because we say "No No" really loud and silly and "Yes Yes" super soft and sweet. He loves the fun we have with the changes in inflection and the great part is adding our own "life specific" examples at the end and in our everyday life as they come about.

A Great Dr. Seuss Book

One book I love is "My Many Colored Days" by Dr. Seuss. It's not the traditional Dr. Seuss book, in that the illustrations are different. But it's great to discuss feelings and learning about colors.

Three We Love

Goodnight Baby, All About Me, and The little Doghouse -- she loves all three over and over again.
—Guest barbara

Book of Songs

We have a library of classics and among them is a book with a song tape of traditional Americana songs -- Daisy, Daisy; She'll be Coming Round the Mountain; as well as kid faves like Wheels on the Bus. 20-month-old carries it around singing them ALL THE TIME.

My 20-month-old toddler loves Disney. Belle's Bag of Colours and My Little Picture Dictionary. She goes through them over and over and enjoys them lot. Also, by now she has learned a lot of words, while English is not our native language.

My Twins' Favorite Book...

The Belly Button Book is my twin girls favorite book. They will let me read it over and over and still laugh at all the good parts..

My 9-Month-Old's Favorite Book

She absolutely loves The Hungry Caterpillar. She likes the caterpillar and how he eats and eats and eats. And the book has the holes in it and she sticks her fingers through it and laughs!!!
—Guest Antwinix

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Sometimes board books are shortened versions of longer books and they lose part of the story in translation. I know that's necessary since toddlers won't understand or will get bored with long stories, but sometimes it makes the book completely different and not enjoyable. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom turned out to be a great short book and my toddler loved it. Then when he got older and we read the longer version and he knew his letters it was like a whole new book to him. One that was shortened that ended up ruined, though, was Go, Dog. Go!
