Reading to babies is a great habit to start as soon as they are brought home from the hospital. We received quite a few books at our baby shower, so fortunately we started out with a pretty good stash. Out of all the board books we’ve received, there are a handful that we continue to read over and over. This post will cover our top ten favorite books for babies and toddlers that our kids enjoy listening to, and that my husband and I don’t mind reading!

These stories are all so cute, and would be the perfect gift to bundle up in a basket with a blanket or burp cloths for a baby shower gift. If not for a baby shower, they would also make a great first birthday gift!

When you click each link, you can read the summary for each book. Also, before you add any books to your shopping cart, make sure you are selecting the correct format. A lot of these books have the option to purchase either hardcover, paperback, audio CD, Kindle, Audiobook, or board book. Board books tend to be best for littles, and I usually find they are the least expensive option.

Here is a list of our top 10 favorite books for babies and toddlers!

1. Giraffes Can’t Dance

2. Little Blue Truck

3. Llama Llama Red Pajama

4. The Pout – Pout Fish

5. I Love You, Stinky Face

6. There’s a Monster in Your Book

7. If Animals Kissed Good Night

8. The Gruffalo

9. Barnyard Dance!

10. Mr. Bown Can Moo! Can You?

I hope you’ve found this list helpful. Please leave a comment and let me know if you have any other board books I haven’t listed that are your family’s favorite!
