A wonderful ABC board book to introduce anyone to the wonders of New York City, full of Mr. Boddington's iconic charm.
— Kelly
This book is a BLAST! Even those kiddos who have moved on to picture books will still love this adventure of sweet animal characters and costumes. You can chance their hats and pants by turning a wheel, creating some pretty awesome outfits. So creative and quirky and adorable. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
— Petra
This is a must-have pull-the-tab board book. Each page describes a little one having a feeling (a good one or not so good one or a feeling that’s right in the middle) and you pull the tab to see how that feeling can chance with a little love or some soft words or even just some time. A perfect lesson about how talking about feelings can make everything a lot better.

Learn about birds of all shapes and sizes from all of the world. This book is so fun with clever rhymes and detailed illustrations. It will have you all flying around the room afterwards, and naming birds from the car or kitchen window.
— Petra
The best game of hide-and-seek is with dinosaurs, right? Search for your dinosaur friend all around the house using brilliant, kid-friendly sliders. It’s so clever and sweet, I’m obsessed!
— Petra
Who says wee ones can’t learn science with a board book? This detailed but accessible book about the life of butterflies even has all shapes and sizes of sturdy paper flaps to peak behind! Interactive, creative, and a wonderful first science lesson.
— Petra
My favorite bedtime book, this charming tale is of a girl who isn’t sleepy. Through dreamy art exploring a number of very sleepy animals, with crisp cozy details as well, this book is gorgeous in image and words!
— Petra
A brilliant way to learn the colors at the same time as exploring artifacts, art, tools, and clothing from all over the world! The British Museum comes right into your own home in a stunning and unique board book.
— Petra
I just love anything by Sandra Boyton! But I must say, I Love you Little Pookie is a new found favorite. The cheerful rhyming makes it so much fun to read out loud and as always, the animals are adorable.
— Susan
This sweet little book shows you that there are so many ways to share your love. A great read aloud that’s sure to inspire the whole family. How can you share your love?
— Susan
Classic Sandra Boynton rhyme and read out loud joy—but with a little different message! Armadillo follows his nose and his own path—and sometimes he worries—but just a pat from the little one on your lap is all he needs to feel better. A new favorite!

One of our favorite board book authors has done it again! Simple yet clever, you will peek through pages to discover the next animal transforming from the color on the previous page. Starting with a yellow circle which becomes a yellow bird, all the way to an orange lion that started as a pentagon, this beautiful book is exceptional!
— Jamie
Set to the tune of the classic song about a spider, this book provides a fun new twist for those preparing for school. Don’t forget to sing along!
— Lindsay

Looking for a nice gentle read? This calm book shows us many “soft” things in the world. A great bedtime book!
— Lindsay
I laughed so hard reading this book! Silly names and introducing new colors to kids have never been so fun! Great for an older board book reader.
— Lindsay
Every budding biologist will need to know their flowers, including Narcissus (which is also called Daffodil). Start them with a spring collection of board books that pair science with the alphabet!
— Jamie
A sweet bedtime tale to read to a little one! Cuddle up with this heart-warming rhyming book!
— Lindsay
You Are a Lion is an adorable way to introduce your little one to yoga. Basic poses are taught as your child guesses what animal they are being. I love this book!
