But first, what is a board book?

Board books are short, sturdy books for babies. and toddlers printed on hard pages.

These books are interactive delights — some are lift-the-flap, some are pull-the-tabs, all are wonderful.

The best board books have colorful illustrations or photographs and minimal text.

See which board books are your child’s favorites. I’ve discovered that each child will have preferences.

Some prefer photographs, some touch and feel books, and so on. My eldest daughter’s favorite was the familiar classic, Pat the Bunny, while my younger daughter’s favorite was a lesser-known classic, The Big Red Barn, and both LOVED the Usborne touch-and-feel board books like That’s Not My Puppy.

Whatever you do, just keep on reading to your kids!

You’re doing exactly the best thing for your child’s literary life. Go, you!!

A classic for a reason — babies and toddlers love predicting what comes next while learning animal and color words. It’s a kid-favorite board book and one of the best you’ll read.

This board book resembles a big block — imagine three or four books put together and that is how wide the book is. From the rooster crowing “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” this book takes you all around the farm. Feed and count the chicks on a fold-out page.

Jungle illustrated by Jane Ormes 
LIFT-THE-FLAP
What an adorable book to learn about animal families! I love the color schemes with neon orange, blues and greens. For each animal, you’ll read what the daddy is called, the mommy is called, and then lift-the-flap under the mommy to read what the babies are called. Plus pandas, elephants, tigers, and the group names for each. I learned a few things from this darling book.

Pin Pon (Canticos) by Susie Jaramillo
BILINGUAL / REVERSABLE
Depending on the way you hold the book, you’ll read this catchy song in either English or Spanish about a darling little cardboard boy named Pin Pon who cleans and eats and goes to bed just like a regular boy.

There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight by Penny Parker Klosterman, illustrated by Ben Mantle
Jaunty rhymes and plenty of silliness make this a read-aloud favorite, now in a board book version. This dragon swallowed a knight — and so much more. That’s not polite! Which the dragon realizes when his tummy gets too big. He burps and they all, well, almost all, leave his stomach.

 
Who’s There? by Alain Crozon
LIFT THE FLAPS
Lift-the-flaps covering the egg, apple, wing, fin, or nesting doll and see what you can find. I love the colors, the illustrations, and the onomatopoeia on each page — buzz, buzz, chomp, chomp. The flaps appear sturdy enough to withstand lots of kid-tugging. Also by this author: All Shook Up!

You can be . . .” begins this brilliant book filled with acceptance for a child’s ways of being including funny, sensitive, noisy, artsy, caring, dirty, strong, studious, helpful, and scared. Gravel shows the possibilities of being yourself and feeling different emotions. Not only is the book lovely, but Gravel’s artwork is also captivating and expressive.

Watch Me Grow!
Babies LOVE books like this one with photos of real babies. It begins with a milestone at one month of age (“Watch me clench my fist!“) and continues until 24 months (“Watch me stand on my tiptoes!“). It’s really interesting for us adult readers to follow the developmental milestones of these children who lift their heads, stand, walk, and eat with a spoon. But kids will just love seeing the babies grow into toddlers.

She scampers through the forest where she meets foxes, bears, rabbits in the different layers of the forest until she finds her family and her favorite tree.

Lois Looks for Bob at the Park by Gerry Turley
LIFT THE FLAP
A kitty named Lois looks for her friend Bob who is a bird. Lift the flaps to search the park for Bob — is he behind the gate or beneath the bench? I like the clean illustrations and the sturdy flaps but I especially like the animals all named people names– Lois, Peggy, Derek, Susan, etc. That cracks me up for some reason! Also, read Lois Looks for Bob at Home.

Global Baby BEDTIMES by Maya Ajmera

A gorgeous story of a little rabbit who WONDERS.  When he hops through the grass, he wonders what it’s like to be green. When he hops over a rock, he wonders what it’s like to not move. As he snuggles up to his mommy at the end of the day, he knows he never has to wonder about who loves him.

Cowy Cow by Chris Raschka
This book isn’t actually a board book — but it reads like it is, with simple text and pictures. It’s a fun book about Cowy Cow’s ideas like if you chew grass long enough, it might taste like a gluten-free oatmeal raisin cookie. Cow is a genius.
