One of this awful obnoxious books that you can press buttons and they make noise. He’ll love it ?
Omg yes! Why didn’t I think of that lol

Btw. I like to find books and then shop them used on Amazon. You can get killer deals on kids’ books that way.
Make sure they’re board books of course. I loved Sandra Boynton when my kids were babies/ toddlers.

Good for you!!! Going to the bookstore to buy first books for your baby is SO MUCH FUN!!!
My son loved board books with fuzzy things he could touch. There are lots of them with different textures. The colors are bright and the interaction is a good thing. Congrats on creating a brand new lover of books!!! Have fun ?
I read Big Red Barn 1 million times. It’s in his baby trunk now. I’m saving that one.
My 16 month old loves the books with things to touch inside. She always wants me to read to her now. “Don’t ever touch a dragon” is her favourite
Good night Gorilla was a big favorite around our house and my girls are only 2 and 3. I think I may have read it more then any other book in my LIFE ?
Agree with dr seuss
