Favorite Books for Toddlers

It's hard for me to make this list and say that these are our favorite books, because that is constantly changing, but they are some that we have loved for a long time and some recent finds that we can't get enough of. I absolutely love Children's books and reading to my boys. What are some of your families favorites? Please share in the comments.

Llama Llama Mad at Mama by Anna Dewdney (We love all the Llama Llama Books)
The Monster at the End of This Book
We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen + Helen Oxenbury
Duck on a Bike by David Shannon
Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle
The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt
Maisy Goes to Preschool: A Maisy First Experiences Book by Lucy Cousins (This whole "First Experiences series has been great for Milo, who is a little nervous in new situations)
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.
King Jack and the Dragon by Peter Bently + Helen Oxenbury

Uncle Goose Blocks on Gilt



My husband served a LDS mission to Greece, he speaks Greek and is a little obsessed with all things Greek. So when I saw these Wooden Greek Alphabet Blocks by Uncle Goose I knew we had to have them. Honestly they are more a gift for him than our boys, but I know they will love them, too! The Greek set is $33.95 plus Gilt is offering 25% off toys if you use your Mastercard. They have the blocks over 17 languages/varieties. How cute are these Elemental blocks if you have a scientist in your family?  Head to Gilt to check it out!

Nike 'Free 5' $19.97 at Nordstrom


I was so excited to find these because Milo has a pair of Nike Free shoes that he loves but are in need of replacing. I can't bring myself to spend $65 on a pair of shoes for him since he's hard on them and out grows them so quickly. I got his first pair at a yard sale in perfect for condition for $10... but this deal is almost as good, if not better. Nike 'Free 5' are marked down to $19.97 from $62, thats 65% off! Plus if you use e-bates you get 6% cash back on Nordstrom purchases. Sizes are limited but there are also many other styles that are being price matched.
