We have compiled the top 5 books for toddlers! A study from The Ohio State University found that young kids who are read to five times daily (yes, it’s perfectly okay if books are repeated!) will hear nearly 1.5 million words by the time they turn 5. This will boost their language development and set a strong foundation for school success.
So here are our top 5 books for toddlers—both interactive and engaging for our little ones with short attention spans. All of the below recommendations are board books, great for independent reading and each has been approved, read and loved by Hazel.
