List of the Best Books for Toddlers

My kids started showing genuine interest in books during their early toddler years (Finally! Yay!), which is also when we started stocking their library.  At this point, my kids have an extensive book collection.  But even with their large library with over a hundred books (Yes. A hundred.), these good reads still remain some of their favorites.  The following is a list of tried-and-true, toddler-approved Best Books for Toddlers.  I hope your toddlers love these books as much as mine!

    These are fantastic books, most of which are a staple in my household as well. My daughter loves Pat the Bunny this week, and seems to be warming up to Mr. Brown as well. Thank you for sharing such a great list of books 🙂

    My almost 3yr old loves Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and all the How Do Dinosaurs books. She also really loves Bear Snores On and The Big Hungry Bear.

    I've been looking for a list like this, since my toddler has just begun to enjoy checking books out from the library. Thanks for sharing your favorites. Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site was a huge hit with our little guy. Can't wait to read some of the ones we haven't picked up yet! Off to the library....
