In conjunction with my latest podcast, my sister & I talked baby reading.  And when we say "baby" we mean baby baby-- younger than 1 year or 12-month olds. So keep that in mind as you peruse this baby book list I compiled; it's specifically targeted for 0-12 months & the books may seem very basic, but that's because they are for newborn babies. I've never made a list like this yet, so I hope this one is helpful & points parents in the right direction as they start reading to their baby.

​Baby Books:  
1. 
Moo, Baa, LaLaLa 
by: Sandra Boynton 
(You can never go wrong with a Sandra Boynton book! The rhyming & illustrations are perfect for little ones, & this one teaches what some of the animals say with a twist.) 
www.amazon.com/Moo-Baa-Sandra-Boynton/dp/067144901X/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=baby+board+books&qid=1603910060&sr=8-7 

2. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See? 
by: Bill Martin Jr. & Eric Carle 
(This classic introduces different animals & colors with each page.)

3. That's Not My Dinosaur

4. Baby Let's Eat (Indestructible) 
by: Amy Pixton & Stephan Lomp
(These indestructibles are a *staple* for young readers; they can be ripped, chewed on, washed & they're pretty resilient or...indestructible! They also crinkle in little hands, which makes the sound many babies love. My babies' favorites have been the ones that feature baby faces.)

www.amazon.com/Indestructibles-Baby-Lets-Amy-Pixton/dp/152350207X/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2YKTA7KJIKKD2&dchild=1&keywords=indestructibles+books&qid=1603910586&sprefix=indestruct%2Caps%2C228&sr=8-4 

5. The Very Hungry Caterpillar: Let's Count On
by: Eric Carle 

(This wonderfully inviting baby book, is a crinkle page book & it mesmerized my son for months when he was a little baby.  It also counts up to 5, with items from the Hungry Caterpillar book on each page.)

7. First 100 Words
by: Roger Priddy
(This is one of those well-known baby classics, available in board or picture book form, that introduces a lot of vocabulary to your little one; colors, animals, & everyday objects.) 


www.amazon.com/First-100-Words-Roger-Priddy/dp/0312510780/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3VW02W98B4XC3&dchild=1&keywords=abc+books+for+babies&qid=1603911365&sprefix=abc+books+for+baby%2Caps%2C254&sr=8-10

10. Alphaprints: Colors
by: Roger Priddy

(Honestly, all of the Alphaprint books are amazing! We own several, & the thumbprint textures, strange objects for eyes or animals, & bright colors are so engaging!) 
www.amazon.com/Alphaprints-Colors-Roger-Priddy/dp/0312517939/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=alphaprints&qid=1603912779&sr=8-2

13.  My Very First Book of Numbers (pictured above!) 
by: Eric Carle  
(This interactive book has colorful fruits on each half-page & corresponding numbers, but they're out of order. It's fun to read this puzzle book together.) 
www.amazon.com/My-Very-First-Book-Numbers/dp/039924509X/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=eric+carle+counting&qid=1603990463&sr=8-3
