Best books for an 18 month old

[Mycatslife]

tends to enjoy books that are interactive in some way - lift the flap or sounds or similar. Any recommendations?

All the Spot the Dog ones are fun.
All Ross Campbell especially Oh Dear!
and It's Mine
Hide and Seek; Playful Pets
Hide and Seek; In the Jungle
Often find nice board books with one picture per page in bargain book stores..really good for his language development.

Mine liked this (has flaps and textures):

www.amazon.co.uk/Touchy-feely-Dragons-Hide-Seek-Books/dp/0746077602/ref=sr_1_1?crid=37OZW135N1D8S&keywords=Usborne+dragon+hide+seek&qid=1656093811&sprefix=usborne+dragon+hide+seek%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-1

and this one, even though it’s an absolute carbon copy of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

www.amazon.co.uk/Were-Going-Hunt-Laura-Hughes/dp/1408870118/ref=sr_1_1?crid=377Z53G1D379R&keywords=Egg+hunt&qid=1656093923&s=books&sprefix=egg+hunt%2Cstripbooks%2C136&sr=1-1

and the first Spot book is a lot better than all the later ones

www.amazon.co.uk/Wheres-Spot-Original-Lift-Flap-ebook/dp/B00C2FE6OM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2MRDEX9W8442L&keywords=Spot+the+dog&qid=1656094080&sprefix=spot+the+dog%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-3

My daughter was obsessed with an Allan Ahlberg book called 'Crash Bang Wallop' at that age. It had a lot of animal sounds that could be repeated - as in
"The Dog Went Woof" and she would basically say the "Woof" part.
We loved the Allan and Janet Ahlberg 'Peppo' and 'Each Peach Pear Plum' too. Not interactive books but the stories are rhyming so it has a sing-songy flow.

I remember a lot of ‘that’s not my’ at that age. They’re repetitive and each one names the texture ie ‘that’s not my dog, his ears are too soft’ etc.

Almost all nurseries I’ve worked in do Dear Zoo, usually it’s a favourite!

oh, yes,Peepo.
although i have difficulty reading without fighting back the feels.

The ‘Pop Up Peekaboo’ series is popular

"Press Here" by Herve Tullet

My DD loved Dear Zoo.

"In the jungle" - was a favourite for a while

Where's Mr Duck is a favourite here. Along with Hairy Mclarey. Peepo too.
