10 Best Books To Read To Infants And Toddlers

I love reading and I want my children to have the same love and enjoyment in reading books. What are the best children’s books for infants and toddlers? Here’s a list of the ten recommended board books you can begin your collection with.

I started to collect story books for my children when I was pregnant. Most of these were board books that could be handled by little children. I love and enjoy reading and I want my children to have the same love in reading.

So when they were still inside my womb, when they were infants and now as they hit toddler age, I read aloud to them. Consequently, my daughters are asking me to read these storybooks to them before bedtime.
