I am loving the popular “four gift rule” for Christmas. Every child receives one item in each of the following categories; something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. If you know me, then you know that my favorite category is “something to read”. Thankfully, my girls (ages 1 and 2.5) love to read too. Here are my recommendations for excellent books to give toddlers as gifts.

Some families now have the tradition of a book advent calendar. Children get to open one new book each day in the 25 days leading up to Christmas. The following Christmas books would be great to include in the calendar but they also make wonderful presents on their own.
Christmas Songs: Interactive Sound Book
If you are looking for books that can be read after Christmas then these seasonal winter books are perfect to pick from. The Daniel Tiger book is currently a favorite in our house.
My one-year-old is obsessed with lift-the-flap books. She demands to read these types of books every day. They are so popular for a reason, children love lifting flaps!
Everyone knows the classics, but here are a few popular modern books for toddlers that are a huge hit in our household.
Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
Kids love music. To pair a book with a fun children’s song will make your baby or toddler want to read these books over and over again.
