Board books are children’s introduction to the wonder of reading, and in this section you’ll find books that introduce concepts like counting, our community, identifying shapes, and colors. Toddlers explore their world using the five senses, and as their fingers turn the sturdy pages of these books, they can feel the fuzzy fur of a goat, lift a flap to see a truck at work, learn about baby dinosaurs, and the weather. Young children will enjoy studying photographs or illustrations to discover farm animals, vegetables, and bugs! These books will help you offer babies and toddlers a wide range of literary experiences, and all the time you’re developing their vocabulary and deepening their understanding of the world. And as you read aloud, you’ll build loving connections between you and the child, as both of you enjoy these books!
