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.
Reading is one of my favorite things to do and I hope to pass the love of reading onto my daughter. I make sure that we read multiple books a day. I have found that the books my toddler tends to lean towards I do not find enjoyable – there are no storylines, just words matched up with pictures. Likewise, the books I like to read the most to my daughter she seems to lose interest with quickly. Here is a list of sturdy children’s board books we both enjoy to read together over and over again. These are books you won’t find on similar lists so I hope you come across some new favorites to read with your child.
