Must-Read Books for Toddlers: Curated by a First-Time Mom

As a first-time mom and an avid reader, I found it surprisingly hard to choose the right books for my toddler. With so many options out there, it can feel overwhelming. So I’ve put together a curated list of books my son genuinely loves and keeps coming back to.

Books by Indian authors:

A very funny, no-text read with amazing illustrations.

A fun read with large, bright pictures.

Loved the illustrations in this one!


Books by international authors:

An adorable book with heart warming poetry.

Hilarious story that your toddler is sure to love!

Short stories great for bed-time.

My son absolutely loves this one! Many amazing pictures and a great read, even for adults.

This one’s special! It was the first book I introduced to my son when he was about 3 months old, and he still loves it.

A good book to introduce different body parts.

This one from the indestructible series is amazing! It doesn’t tear, break or get wet. It’s also toxic free. Can be introduced to a baby at a younger age.
