Books for 11 month old

With both my kids we have read to them since they were bumps, and my DD (3 in april) loves reading, especially just before bed with all of us cuddled around. But my DS (11 months) isn't really all that bothered. He'll sit still for about 2 books (not back to back, he just likes 2 out of all the books we have). Every night after bath I try one of the standards he likes and try to introduce one or two new ones but he doesn't seem interested in the least. We also show him books during the day, but again, unfussed.

Maybe I'm comparing him too much to his sister, but i feel like at this point she was loving 4-5 bedtime books per night?

Should I lighten up? Or are there any books people might suggest I try?

Lighten up but don't give up! Favourite books around that age:

  • Banana... few words but engaging
  • Maisy books (particularly the ones with flaps... Where is Maisy's Panda etc)
  • Little Mouse etc... other finger puppet board books.

How about That's not my..... Books? Dd still likes them at 19 months they aren't really stories but definitely get them more interested. Also Dear Zoo is great
