Storybooks for your 18 month old

[chanderl]

Morning, can anyone recommend some story board books for an 18 month old?

The Acorn Wood series are lovely. My DS loved them. Also spot the dog flap books went down well.

That’s not my books are DS favourites, can get them quite cheap on amazon!

@tmh88 He loves the That's Not My books but they don't have a story to them so was looking for something with a few more words.

Will check out the acorn wood ones @WhenZogateSuperworm thanks

Julia Donaldson- What the Ladybird Heard
I don’t know if they come on board book format but the Little Red Train series
Hairy Maclairy
All the books by Eric Carle esp Brown Bear, Brown Bear What did You see?, the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Books by Oliver Jeffers
Peace At Last and Whatever Next by Jill Murphy
The Apple Tree Farm books (and when he’s much much older they work as early readers)
The Tony Mitton books about tractors and fire engines and ambulances that I can now recite in my sleep!

Also, Goodnight Moon, a book called ‘Listen Listen What’s That Sound?’, and all the Maisy books and others by Lucy Cousins. They are colourful and kids love them.

He’s got a really lovely book called where happiness lives which is a lift the flap but paper pages, he also really likes the first hippo on the moon-David Walliams which is a board book and a longer story. My favourites to read him are the hugs for mummy and the hugs for daddy books! Hope that helps!

Mine loved the usborne phonetics books like Big pig on a dig, not board books but thick paper. Both learnt to read from them

Some of my DCs favourites from that age include:

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
Each Peach Pear Plum
Peepo
The Baby Catalogue
Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
The Runaway Train (a Little Red Train book)
Nibbles numbers
Dear Zoo
Ten Little Pirates
Dig Dig Digging
Goodnight Tractor

Books based on favourite characters (e.g. In The Night Garden, Thomas and Friends, Peppa Pig books) also went down well.

If you live near a library then I’d suggest getting out a range of books from there and seeing which your DC likes best before buying. Some of my DC’s favourite books were ones we discovered through the library.

I second the Acorn wood ones, dd loves them. Also julia Donaldson rhyming books. Especially what the ladybird heard. Which I often have to read multiple times a day!

Mine loved Pip and Posy books by Axel Scheffler. Lovely illustrations, stories a bit dull for my taste but they loved them!

DD (20 months) loves Oi Frog and Oi Dog.

Thanks everyone!
