We're a big 'book' family. We have books that are half chewed, duct-taped, pop-up books that are missing the entire pop-up areas, short books, long books, giggle books, we love them all. You can never have enough books. All prices, all types are welcome here.
If you've got an infant at home, we thought we would compile a list of our favorites books that we come back to each day and year. These are great ideas that you could gift a mom or dad you know for an upcoming birthday or special occasion.
We all know the classic favorites like The Hungry Caterpiller by Eric Carle and the Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle get a lot of attention, so we thought we'd focus on a few of our favorites that may be off the beaten path to help mix up your collection.
And as always to help build an affordable library, you can find a lot of these used on Amazon, free at your local library, or use on Craigslist, Ebay or Facebook Marketplace.
We hope this list helps give you some new ideas of where to start.
Reading is one of the best things you can do with your little one. It helps develop baby's cognitive skills as well as offering a great way to build connections and memories together. It can also enhance language skills and encourage vocalization.
Try and read to your little one every day or every night. Long before they can talk and pay attention, they will be soaking up the great benefits of vocabulary and your engagement as you bond together.
We hope this helps you have a list of some great reads to start from. If your parents or friends are looking for budget-friendly ideas for gifts, consider sending them this list.

My daughter has already purchased the cards (she beat me to it..lol), however, I would love to start adding to my 5 week old grandsons library! We started following WTE from Day 1 and I would recommend this to all new mothers & grandparents. I’m still enjoying all the helpful information & I have 2 grown daughters. 30 yrs ago, this was not available to me. Thank You so much for leading us through so many different steps of him growing in the womb & now all the ideas to help him grow into the smart Lil baby he is becoming day by day with your help!! God Bless!!
