Best Board Books to Add To Your Baby's 1st Library

My children have a passion for reading. What's the secret? We read to them since they were born. Reading to your baby not only strengthens your bond but also plays an essential role in their vocabulary and sensory development. From tummy time to sitters and walkers, the best early books are the ones where they can open flaps to discover objects, feel textured designs, see colorful pages and hear musical sounds. Books with rhymes and right pages make a wonderful gift for children. They will learn to turn the pages as you read the cute little rhymes on each page.

Here are some of our favorites that you can add to your baby's library and are also great baby shower, 1st birthday and holiday gifts:

Some of these are touch and feel board books, some are lift the flaps and some are just beautifully illustrated and written in an endearing way. Some of these books are a series and can be found in a variety of themes and occasions. The key to keeping the young readers interested is by the intonation of your voice, changing it as the characters speak/change and making sounds for the actions in the story. 

I hope that this list helps you start your baby's library collection. Remember the more you read to your children, the more they fall in love with reading. There is nothing better than cuddling with your baby while reading their favorite book. 

Happy reading!
