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!

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!

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!
I just love Spencer! He is strong & fast & loud! And then…he is quiet. And gentle because Spencer has become a brother! A great book for families expecting their second child.
— Susan
This little guy can’t help but hug everyone and everything, until he is exhausted….could he need a hug too? Adorable!
— Jamie
This beautiful book by graphic design master Deneux is filled with charming jungle animals, cut out to promote tactile learning. But it also has a list of key words about each page, prompting the imagination of the reader and giving years of thoughtful exploration. Fantastic!
— Jamie
There is something extra sweet about this book. Let your little one say good night with Little Bear and his forest friends as they prepare for their winter’s sleep. Snuggles, and kisses, and hugs…oh my!
— Lori
Buildablock is just as fun, clever, and beautiful as the rest of the books in the alphablock series. A perfect gift for a child who can’t get enough at construction sites, this inventive book showcases a wide range of construction equipment. (I think I even learned something!)
— Kelly
What a wonderful, colorful, and bright introduction to a wide range of patterns! Showing both the elements that form the designs and joyful scenes featuring the newly learned patterns, this would be a lovely book for any child to begin appreciating how patterns can be found all around us!
— Kelly
The silhouettes with which Oklejak chooses to illustrate colors are elaborate and unusual, allowing this book to grow with the baby into their toddler years.

Five adorable Pookie board books are available to bundle together for your favorite little piglet. Boynton's Pookie books are bright, fun, and full of sweet stories in rhyming text that always makes me smile! Start with the first, and see if you can resist the rest!

This is a beautifully illustrated "baby lit" book with Anne of Green Gables references showcasing places such as home, field, and Prince Edward Island. A lovely baby shower gift for the young Mom who grew up with Anne.
