Toddler Reading Books

The Pick Of The Best

This section has the pick of the best toddler reading book reviews, as well as some handy tips for reading with your child.

I have read all these books with my toddler or other young children, and both they and I have really enjoyed them. These are my personal recommendations.

It's really important for the adult to want to read the story.

I have lost count of the number of stories for toddlers with massive inconsistencies.

The words might say 'sad' but the picture says 'angry' (mentioning no names of certain blue steam engines).

All these reading books have a certain something that makes enjoyable enough for you to want to read (or at least not mind reading!) them over and over - because you can bet that your kid will want you to!

A beautiful and whimsical story, with gorgeous illustrations. Read what Thomas The Tank Engine syndrome is and how this book is the perfect antidote to it.

Paul O. Zelinsky
Review of 2 of his stories - retelling The Wheels On The Bus and Knick Knack Paddywhack. Not so much books as toddler reading carnivals that will get any toddler into the book habit.
