These aren’t really category books; some are older, some are newer but all will be big hits with your little one from the baby years onwards.

A great way to choose books for your baby is to pick the ones you loved best as a child. Most of these below I had as a baby and now my son does. Maybe his children will too.

1. Harold and the Purple Crayon
2. Where the Sidewalk Ends
3. Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
4. Where the Wild Things Are
5. In the Night Kitchen
6. Goodnight Moon
7. Oh, What a Busy Day! (you may have to look for this one, but it’s worth it.)
8. The Giving Tree
9. Richard Scarry’s Best Word Book Ever
10. On the Day You Were Born

What books can’t your baby (and you) live without?
