Board Books

Board books are sturdier than regular books. They are great for toddlers. Toddlers usually can use these books unsupervised.

Reading Books

Allow your toddler to choose how to read the book. Toddlers often like to read books by looking at the pictures and telling the story themselves. They sometimes like to read books upsidedown or backwards.

Cleaning Books

Books often need to be cleaned. Dirty and sticky hands can make books messy. Most books can be safely wiped off with diaper wipes.

Vinyl Books

Vinyl books make great bath toys. They are also great for messy toddlers, since these books are easy to wash.
