Love the illustrations SO much!
$19.99

These books are parent pleasers AND kid pleasers, which is rare. I didn't think my kids would like them, but they love pressing the buttons. There is a whole series, and you can learn a lot about each ballet or piece of music. Highly recommend as baby/young child presents. You'll be cool, and the kids will actually like them.

This is an amazing baby shower/new baby gift if you ever need one, so I wanted to put it out there. We received this book when our daughter was born, and it's so sweet. Oliver Jeffers is kind of the cool children's book author du jour, and you'll be cool if you give one of his books!

Oliver Jeffers
Oliver Jeffers is my favorite children's book author and illustrator. This is a lovely book about friendship which my boys read again and again.

Drew Daywalt & Oliver Jeffers
A #1 NYT bestseller with a fresh storyline and engaging illustrations that kids and adults will love. We like to give each of the crayons a different voice when we read it.

Jon Klassen
Beautiful illustrations with an unexpected ending that will make kids laugh when they realize what happened.
$10.24

Mo Willems
The entire Elephant & Piggie series from Mo Willems is wonderful, but my kids especially love this one that talks with the reader and brings them into the story.
$10.24

Roald Dahl
It is too difficult to pick a favorite Roald Dahl book. We got this set for our boys and they have read each book multiple times. I love to read with them as well because they are just as entertaining now as when I read them as a kid.
$44.00

Peter Brown
Such a beautiful book! The illustrations, the story - everything about it is amazing. There is also a film version you can watch after reading. Highly recommend!
$8.38

Sherri Duskey Rinker
This series is pretty popular now, but we dot it when it first came out and loved the cute illustration style and rhyming cadence that makes them easy to read. Plus the story is about getting ready for bed so it is nice to read with little ones at bedtime.
$17.70

Amy Krouse Rosenthal
We got this set of board books when our boys were little and read them SO much they fell apart! :) Our kids love the opposite style writing (little pea HATES candy) and the illustrations are so sweet.
