Our favorite books for the toddler(s) in your house

Reading is a pretty big deal at our house. But said reading has to come from board books, since I'm convinced my daughter might just be part goat. Below are a few of my daughter's currents faves (I've already explained my love for all of the BabyLit series, but we're also obsessed with Gyo Fujikawa and Eric Carle.) 

1. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? - This has been a favorite of my daughter's since she was little. It's a great way to introduce colors and animals.
2. Babies - This was one of my favorites as a child, and my little one was so attached to this book that at one point, she had to carry it around everywhere.
3. 1, 2, 3 Count With Me - Baby girl loves her some Sesame Street, and this cute little book presents a fun way to count to ten.
4. There's a Wocket in my Pocket! - Dr. Seuss is just amazing. Seriously genius.
5. Pride and Prejudice - Beautiful illustrations and fun text.
6. From Head to Toe - Baby S loves to mimic all of the actions. (We also add in sound effects.)
7. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom - A whimsical way to learn your ABCs.
8. Romeo and Juliet - I want every page of this book as artwork in my girl's nursery.
9. The Very Hungry Caterpillar - A classic.
10. The Foot Book - Another great toddler-friendly Dr. Seuss book.
11. Ten Little Babies - A little quirky, but my little one loves it.

BabyLit books are the best

Much to my delight, my daughter has inherited my voracious appetite for literature. (Hers oft times more literal than mine.) I'm always on the hunt for great children's books with fun illustrations and educational content. And, lucky for me, my mother-in-law happens to be an elementary school teacher with an uncanny ability to pick out the best books for my babe. After she gifted us this book, we were hooked. 

I did my research, and found out that it was part of a larger series of books, by a charming company called BabyLit. I immediately ordered Pride and Prejudice, and pre-ordered Jane Eyre and Alice in Wonderland. Skip to a year later, and now there are five more classics that I can't wait to get my hands on. 

Each book features a form of instruction, ranging from counting, colors, opposites and weather. They each cleverly address the plots of their respective story, in a child-friendly manner that is coupled with amazing illustrations. (And if you're as big of a fan of the illustrations as I am, you'll be pleased to know that BabyLit also sells prints!)

Remarkably, these four books have held up against my daughter's "book ruining" propensities. Every day, she points up to the mantle so we can read, "Jay," "Rome," "Prej" and "A-lise." It's pretty dang cute. Hopefully, she'll also share my intense fascination with vampires once I order this.
