Currently reading this to my four month old every night but wondering if anyone had suggestions for alternatives to mix it up a bit?

Criteria:

Short - similar length to guess how much I love you
Ideally a board book
Has a lovely message (the more warm & fuzzy the better)

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball by Vicki Churchill

But go to your local library and borrow lots of books, don't just read one again and again (in a year or two your DC will be insisting you do that so take advantage now of being able to choose whatever you want to read). Also, at 4 months old now is probably time to introduce books like the 'That's not my...' series which has textured panels for little hands to explore.

Emma Dodds animal books especially "Together" - the otter one. You'll find a reading on YouTube if you want to check it out. I found it in my local library but loved it so much I bought it.

Was also going to suggest On The Night You Were Born. The Crown On Your Head by the same author is also lovely.

The 2 books DS has kept since he was little are Guess How Much I Love You, and Owl Babies, so maybe that one if it's still about.
