BabyBot is seven weeks old now which means I’m still not getting a lot of writing done, but I’ve been enjoying lots of cooing, smiling, and general baby cuteness (in addition to the crying and stinky diapers). We’ve been doing more and more reading together now that BabyBot is starting to really engage with what she’s seeing. Here are some of our current favorite board books.
Black on White and White on Black by Tana Hoban
These have been a hit since the baby was just a week old. She loves staring at the silhouettes, and I like coming up with different things to say about them. Wordless books are also nice because I can “read” them to her in both English and Polish.
Don’t Push the Button by Bill Cotter
BabyBot is a little young to fully engage with this interactive story, but she seems to enjoy us making funny sound effects and having her touch the pages.
Early Bird by Toni Yuly
I like the simple yet clear narrative, and BabyBot is fascinated by the illustrations. There’s one flower-filled page that she stares at intently every time we read it.
Baby Baby Baby by Marilyn Janovitz
This is another interactive book that’s full of fun, active language and bright illustrations, and one that we reread often.
Those are our current favorites. What board books do you enjoy?
