10+ Books For Toddlers

We love books at my house. So for this week's 10 things Kids Love I am sharing toddler books. We have reading areas set up in most of the rooms in the house.  Reading areas can be as simple as a stack of books and a rug. The kids can sit and look at the books on their own or you can join them and read them all the wonderful stories in each one.  Well, depending on how many books there are, maybe just a few. Reading with the kids is a wonderful bonding time.  It is also great for their growing vocabulary and curiosity of things around them.  Even with our nice collection of books we are always looking for more to read.  Below I have put together a list of our favorite toddler books.  I would love for you to comment on your favorites so we can check those out too.
