Books for Little Ones

Little One loves books! Being read to is one of her favorite things to do right now. Followed closely by pretending to be a cat, blowing bubbles, and playing with play dough. Little One literally meowed before she talked. She's always loved our furry friends. I read at least two dozen books to her a day. Often she'll want to repeat the same book several times a day for days! I'm listing books we've read that she has enjoyed the most. Little One is two, but lots of these books are appropriate for Pre-K and K. Not every child will sit still for longer picture books at this age, and that's fine. My son wouldn't have, but Little One is one who will, so we do lots of reading! She also enjoys reading these herself, flipping through the pages, and asking me to describe the pictures and read certain words she points at. I'll be adding to the list whenever we read a book that Little One really likes. Recently added books will be at the top of the list. I've included links to the books on Amazon.
