Hello! As an avid reader for most of my life, I’m having a blast starting a book collection for my son. We read to him every night! These are books we can read to him and that he will eventually be able to read.
What are some of your favorite children’s books that I should add to my list?

Of all the classic baby books, I honestly think Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is my favorite. I absolutely love it.
I’d also recommend the Nerdy Babies set, which are educational, kid-friendly books about subjects like space, rocks, dinosaurs, and the ocean. They’re so cute and so well written/drawn.
Books by Caroline Jayne Church are wonderful! My personal favourites are How Do I Love You and Sweet Child of Mine. I still tear up a bit reading them some nights – “I love all that you will be, and everything you are”
The Bear Books! The Very Noisy Bear. The Very Angry Bear. The Very Brave Bear. Really cute characters and the rhyming is great!
Welcome Baby is a staple in our house.
Bus Stops, My Friends, and Spring is Here by Taro Gomi.
The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson.
All of Mo Willems’s books.
Ant and Bee books by Angela Banner.
Du Iz Tak by Carson Ellis.
Love you forever – Can’t read it without crying
Goodnight Moon
Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel

Where the wild things are.
Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton is adorable and serves as a lullaby too!
My son loved Mercer Mayer— There’s an Alligator Under My Bed, There’s a Nightmare in My Closet… we read them over and over.
