Board Books

Winnie-the-Pooh's Colors is inspired by A.A. Milne and the illustrations are after the style of Ernest H. Shepard. These classic characters introduce colors to toddlers. The book is simple with very few words and simple sentences on each page and an illustration of each color discussed on that page.

The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too! by Mo Willems is an adorable board book about a pigeon that doesn't like to be told what to do. We can all relate to that. The pigeon goes from Angry to sad and finally happy until he discovers that he has given the bus driver exactly what he wanted in the first place.  The simple drawings still manage to convey quite a bit of emotions and with simple words and sentences this is a cute book that parents won't mind having to repeat over and over again.

My Very First Book of Animal Sounds by Eric Carle is a board book meant for the littlest of readers. The book is uniquely designed to engage your little ones in learning what sounds go with each animal. The book is a flip book, but the bottom half flips separate than the top with an animal on top and a sound on the bottom. Adults will have fun making their kids giggle while making a rooster say roar and a cow meow. There is one word on each page making this book ideal for a first book.

llama llama hippity-hop is a book by Anna Dewdney author of one of my favorite children's series.  All of the llama llama books are great for rhyming which help children with their early literacy skills. This board book has very few words, but they do rhyme and the little llama is so cute.

In The Garden is written by Elizabeth Spurr and illustrated by Manelle Oliphant is a book for toddles. The story is about a boy who starts a garden and waits patiently while it grows. While there are only one or two words on each page the book tells a much longer story with it's charming illustrations. It's amazing how much of a story can be told from so few words.
