Beatrix Potter books x
Some Dogs Do
Spot the dog board book series
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
Goodnight Moon, boardbook!! Then make it a ritual to read together every night. He eventually will be able to recite it to you!
Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, flip the flap books, noisy books.

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.
Spot books ?
Sandra boynton books, goodnight gorilla, good dog Carl
The Good Dog Carl books are excellent.
Spot The Dog and The Very Hungry Caterpillar

@Jody ive got a source!!
The Usborne “That’s Not My…” series of board books with textured bits! Do you have those in the US?
My guys love the ‘touch’ books like ‘that’s not my puppy’ etc.. and we also have a hello mummy and hello daddy touch book. However at 8m my lb was eating all the books so we have lumps out of them ??♀️
Sandra Boyton books are the best!!
Where is the Green Sheep?
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?
Have you heard of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library? My granddaughter has been receiving books from it since birth. She loves looking forward to finding her very own book in the mail. Such an excellent program! https://dollyparton.com/imagination-library

Hairy mclarey!
We’re Going On A Bear Hunt and The Tiger Who Came To Tea.
Yes. Sandra Boynton. I live on the uk you can’t get them over here but they are brilliant.
board books of any eric carle stories- just because…. Anything that rhymes or involved you singing. or that you have to read in an excited voice! He has to know that time with a book is the best time of all!

The going to bed book by sandra boynton
My son’s favorite we are on our 3rd copy they were so loved
Why would you spend twice the amount on a book that is going to be chewed and ruined. You can get the same books at target or Walmart for half the price ?
What reading level is he at?
Stephen King’s the Shining…?
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
Stink bomb and ketchup face, my boys loved it, there’s a few books in the series
And he can read, that’s awesome ?
Any of the Llama Llama books.
Very Hungry Caterpillar was the best seller at my toy store.
I loved reading I Love You, Stinkyface to my kiddos
Love You Forever was my son’s first, and favorite book
I used to read this to my son every night. We’re at the point where he could carry me now. The years go fast. Reading to your kids is a great memory.
