By the time my third baby was born, I was sure I had seen all of the books out there and was pretty sure I was wrong. I was so wrong. I really discovered Usborne Books back in February and wish I knew about them when my kids were babies. Here are my top picks for baby books.
One big reason I love Usborne books is that not only are the books engaging and interactive but Usborne also offers a 50% replacement guarantee. No matter what happens, you have a lifetime guarantee on your books which is great. While the books are very durable, lets’ face it – kids can be tough on things. Knowing you can replace their favorite book with very little out of pocket makes letting them have at it a little easier.
There are actually three titles that are like this. 123 Counting and Under the Sea are the other two like this. I love them because you seldom find books designed for babies in the newborn stage. This unique design allows you to spread the story out for your baby to see and explore from a tummy time position. One side is black and white and the other has added colors. Not only is it a great book for young babies, but as they grow into toddlers, you can explore the scene and ask questions about the pictures:; How many sheep? What color are the ducks, etc.. $7.99
Hush a Bye Owl
Plush books are great for little hands and not worrying about them ruining the books when they chew on them is a bonus. There is also a Hush a Bye Bunny book. There are a few other plush books that we carry as well that can be found by searching under the babies and toddlers category on the website. $14.99
This is one in a series of 4 books. There are also numbers, shapes and words. Each book can be purchased separately or as a series to save a little. Each book features colorful pictures and little flaps to lift. These cute little books are perfect for the diaper bag or anywhere. $7.99
Babies have tiny hands, we made tiny books. This set of 9 mini chunky books have adorable pictures with the name of the picture on each page. With thick board book pages, your little ones can play all they want and build their language. When you are finished, they store in the carrying box with a magnetic closure to keep them from just falling out. Also available in this line of books is I Can Count, My Farm Animal World and My Wild Animal World. $12.99
This is one in a series of 32 {I think} books. Each story features a repetitive sentence throughout, That’s Not My Elephant, it’s trunk is too leathery, where the last page is That’s My Elephant – it’s tail is so fluffy. Each page has a different texture on it to engage those little hands. With this many titles to choose from, you are sure to find one for whatever your kids love. I love That’s Not My Squirrel, the kids love the Pony and Dog one. What will be your favorite? Dinosaur, tractor, princess? Just in time for Christmas we have That’s Not My Elf. While perfect for babies, they are great to grow with toddlers and even preschoolers and have been recommended for kids with sensory disorders. Let these help guide your early reader with a book they can read on their own. $9.99
This is my VERY FAVORITE infant and young toddler book. Did I mention that I love this book? Okay, so does Henry. It’s been his favorite since we got it when he was around 14 months old. Each page has finger trails for their tiny fingers to follow, little finger holes for them to slide and so much more to touch and feel on each page. Each page also has a few words {think sounds you would hear on a farm}. My little man started saying the words on the pages and now calls it is clank clunk book because that’s what it says on one page. I especially love how durable this book is and how even though my little man can move the slides all over, I don’t worry that he will rip it. My 100 pound dog….that’s another story 🙁 There are 4 other titles in this line: zoo, under the sea, dinosaurs and animals. There are also a variety of other finger trail books, some with lift the flaps. $14.99
