One of my favorite things that Abbie started doing recently is handing me a book, then climbing into my lap. It’s the sweetest thing and IMPOSSIBLE to resist – especially as someone that’s always loved to read. She loves all her books, but there are definitely some she grabs more than others – here are her current favorites!
(disclosure – these are affiliate links, but I wouldn’t recommend these if they weren’t honestly her favorites!)

I always just knew the song, but it’s super cute as a book!
Love this! 🙂 I read a book to Weston every night before bed! He still doesn’t really care, but I’m hoping one day it’s a sweet part of bedtime!
Abbie tries to prolong bedtime with books already. At first it was one, then two…and I have a feeling it’ll just keep going up!
Both of my kids LOVE the Sandra Boynton books – Nora’s faves are the Little Pookie series – she knows the two books we have by heart now.
Oh I haven’t seen the Little Pookie ones – I’ll have to look for those!
Good night moon and ten lady bugs are favorites there too! Need to check out some of these others too!
Hope you find more you like!
This honestly could have been a post about Josephine’s favorites. She loves so many of the books you listed. 10 Little Ladybugs is one of her all time favorites! Great post!

Great books! Mac is finally starting to get into books with a bit more of a story, thank goodness. We’ve been reading The Kissing Hand and Where the Wild Things Are. He also really likes the silliness of some of the Dr. Suess books (Hand Hand Finger Thumb, Go Dogs Go, Inside Outside Upside down). Plus, we’ve got our “boy” favorites like Goodnight Construction Site, Yummy Yucky and Smash Crash There Goes the Trash.
Oh I can’t want for the ones with more of a story. We have the Little House book (can’t remember the exact title) – the one where the house is in the country and they build the city around it – and it’s one of my favorites. Abbie makes it through exactly 3 pages…if I’m lucky. Hopefully she’ll like story ones soon…and then I’ll have girly recommendations for you for that sweet girl that’s on the way!
You’ve got some great books listed there! We are fans of Goodnight Moon! It was a huge hit in our house for a very long time!
Thanks, that’s definitely one of my favorites!
I love kids books SO MUCH! is it bad that I already have a collection going for my kids?! lol
Hahaha, NO, not at all.
I already have Harry Potter and the Little House on the Prairie series waiting for Abbie to be old enough for them!
We have blue hat green hat!
A classic!
These are all great choices. Another one that I would add is any of the Pete the Cat books. Watch the video first on YouTube before you read them to your little one so you can get the “song” down. All kids love them!
Oh I’ll look for those – thanks!
My daughter LOVES reading too! Every afternoon when I get off she brings me one, or a million, books to read to her. We have a lot of these books too. She especially loves Pat the Bunny or any book she can touch and feel.
Abbie isn’t big on the touch and feel books, but we haven’t tried in a while. May need to try them again. And isn’t it the cutest when they bring you a book??
We have “How do I love you” and “Goodnight Moon” and they are on our favorite list as well! My niece has curly blonde hair, so my little thinks that it’s his cousin every time we read “How do I love you!” So adorable! 🙂
So cute! Since Abbie’s blonde, I wonder if she’ll think it’s her when she’s older!
