Best Books for a Baby’s First Year – Happiest Baby

Board books are a baby’s best friend—perfect for story time, bedtime, and even teething (chomp, chomp)! But with so many baby books to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start.

Whether you're building your own baby's library or want to shower a babe-to-be with reading material, we've rounded up 45 tried and true favorites with just the right combination of education and entertainment. Most importantly, they’re really fun to read aloud, which is clutch when you’re reading them over and over and over…

Newborn babies respond best to bold, black and white illustrations…like the ones you’ll find in this board book for babies. I Kissed the Baby will grab their attention while charming you with its sweet tale of welcoming a brand-new baby.

You can’t go wrong adding any of Sandra Boynton’s board books to baby’s library. We love this exploration of animal sounds, an important part of every baby’s vocabulary.

Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd

There’s a reason everyone has heard of Good Night Moon. The Margaret Wise Brown classic makes bedtime feel safe and cozy by wishing goodnight to every object in the room.

Babies love to read with their fingers, so Pat the Zoo invites babies to touch and feel different animals, from a furry panda to a bumpy turtle.

Baby loses her precious stuffed animal, but how can she explain the problem without words? Luckily, Mom understands what she’s trying to say in this classic board book for babies.

In this board book for babies, a little bunny and his parent express their love for each other to the moon and back.

Each page of this board book for babies asks the question “What do you see?” before revealing a new animal, from a red bird to a purple cat. The rhythmic repetition and bright colors make it a perfect book for a baby’s first year.

It’s nearly impossible to explain the depth of our love to our littles, but this board book for babies comes close.

Time for Bed, by Mem Fox, Illustrated by Jane Dyer

Every page of this baby book features a young animal snuggling down with its mama for good night’s sleep. You’ll both be yawning by the end!

This board book starts out innocently enough with a tiny caterpillar eating through one apple on Monday. By Saturday he’s worked his way up to cupcakes!

Learn the parts of the body and count down from 10 to 1 while getting lots of kisses? That’s a win-win.

A wily gorilla steals the zookeeper’s keys and lets all the animals out of the cages. You’ll both be laughing when Mrs. Zookeeper discovers the animals napping in her house.

Babies aren’t born seeing color right away, but they are drawn to high-contrast images. Enter this classic baby book! Your bub will love gazing at the black-and-white illustrations designed for their little eyes.

Bath! Bath! Bath!, by Douglas Florian, illustrated by Christiane Engel

Bathtime is one of the most reliable rituals of the baby days! And written in verse, this board book for babies will get your bub excited to suds up.

A classic exploration of opposites through funny dogs who are big and little, fast and slow, and all headed to a big dog party!

Everywhere Babies, by Susan Meyers, illustrated by Marla Frazee

Babies are fed, dressed, and loved in this baby board book that celebrates babies everywhere.

Before your baby can even talk, they’ll be able to imitate the animals’ gestures in this boardbook for babies, turning their head like a penguin or shrugging like a buffalo. (See more interactive books for kids!)

Hugging kitty makes baby happy. Falling down makes baby sad. The simple examples throughout the board book teach babies about their feelings…and that’s a good thing!

Little Blue Truck, by Alice Schertle, illustrated by Jill McElmurry

A brave little truck helps a dump truck who’s stuck in the mud in a much-loved baby board book that features great values and great trucks!

In this board book for babies, a horse graciously offers a ride to a dog, cat, pig and duck…but they’d better hold on tight!

Every baby loves a good game of peekaboo, so try it in board book form as you spy on an owl that says “who” and a train that goes “choo choo.

For little ones who like things that go (and who doesn’t?), this is the perfect bedtime board book.

Very few things fascinate a baby more than the faces of other babies! Explain the parts of the face and the meanings of different expressions as you explore real life baby pictures together. 

This board book does more than just label the main parts of a kid’s face and body—it explains what they’re for, as in, “A nose is to blow, a nose is to sniff, a nose has holes for sniffing with.”

Even hippos have bedtime routines, at least in this board book for babies, which finds various animals brushing their teeth and donning jammies before rocking to sleep on their cozy boat.

I Like Myself, by Karen Beaumont, illustrated by David Catrow

It’s never too soon to build self-esteem, and I Like Myself does a great job showing how our differences make us uniquely awesome.

My Car, by Byron Barton

Sam proudly demonstrates the parts of his car and how he takes care of it with gas, oil and washing. We love Byron Barton’s cartoon-like illustrations and littles are absolutely fascinated to discover how things work.

“Little dishes on little carts” will make you hungry and eager to explore the culture that gave us such yummy goodies. 

Besos for Baby, by Jen Arena, illustrated by Blanca Gomez

If you need an excuse to shower your bebe with kisses, Besos for Baby is here for you.

On a quest to find the elusive green sheep, we meet the up and down sheep, the scared and brave sheep, and many others in this extremely silly rhyming board book for babies.

Author Karen Katz is a master of the lift-the-flap book, and this baby favorite teaches the parts of the body from head to toe.

Having trouble getting your little one to sleep or listen? Spike Lee feels your pain in this sweet baby book that he wrote with his wife…it’s the perfect way to prep for the toddler years ahead!

Jazzy rhythms and rhymes make this story about a boy and his bear on a berry hunt read like pure poetry.

It’s Spot’s dinnertime but he’s hiding so we’ll have to search the house! Baby can help lift the flaps in every room until our puppy is found.

Dr. Seuss gifted us with many classic books for babies, from Green Eggs and Ham to The Lorax. We love Mr. Brown for reading to babies because it’s all about making funny sounds like “buzz buzz” and “boom boom.”  

Quick as a Cricket, by Audrey Wood, illustrated by Don Wood

A small child compares himself to animals with different traits—like “loud as a lion” and “quiet as a clam”—because humans are complex and amazing!

The Runaway Bunny, by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd

A baby bunny learns that no matter where he goes, Mama will always be there in this imaginative fantasy.

Dear Zoo, by Rod Campbell

Can The Zoo help us find the perfect pet in this lift-the-flap book for a baby’s first year? After several misfires—including an elephant that’s too big and a snake that’s too scary—a perfect puppy finally arrives.

Celebrating family love in its many forms, the three short stories in this classic board book are sweet as a baby’s smile.

“Crunch, munch, caterpillars lunch,” begins this nature adventure with just a few well-chosen words on each page and gorgeous illustrations.

Not every day starts out perfectly, but hang in there, and you can turn it around. That’s the moral of this beautiful baby book by Kevin Henkes.

Whose Toes Are Those?, by Jabari Asim, illustrated by Leuyen Pham

This celebration of oh-so-sweet little baby toes will get little ones giggling with its charming rhymes.

Little ones are able to express themselves with gestures before they can speak, so teaching your baby sign language can be a helpful way to communicate with your kiddo early on. This book breaks down some essential signs to help the whole family learn!

An ode to families of all configurations, this baby book is the perfect way to help your sweet pea get to know their own family (the book includes a mirror and a blank family tree)—while also opening their eyes to the world beyond their home.

Chances are, in a few years you’ll be introduced to the bigger-kid books that have made Mo Willems such a hit with young readers (and their parents!). In the meantime, this baby-focused tome gives families a taste of Willems’ humorous writing style (with a dash of sweetness, too!).

  • amazingly beautiful children's books 130000 nine0640 Olesya Akhmedzhanova

    There are books that take your breath away. They delight from page to page, from picture to picture. They delight children, captivate adults and become loved for years to come. We chose 12 of our books with extraordinary wow illustrations.

    One can only say “Wow!” about this book. Fresh novelty by designer and illustrator Helen Druver. The inspiration for her was the beloved by many stories about Mary Poppins. She rethought them, reworked them, experienced them and created a book where magical illustrations are transferred to the world of miracles. At the same time, the book retained the intonations and storylines of the original - the stories of Pamela Lyndon Travers. nine0003

    Reality and fiction are mixed in this book, and miracles always begin suddenly.

    Together with Mary Poppins and her beloved wards Jane and Michael Banks you will go for a walk around London.

    Walk past Buckingham Palace, hear the famous Big Ben and, of course, go on an unforgettable journey into the magical world of Mary.

    A large, bright, legendary Wimmelbuch with the most intricate stories that has earned the love of our young readers. Under the cover are 15 unique mazes from the Japanese studio IC4Design. Each spread of the book has a new plot. nine0003

    You will visit the deck of an ocean liner, a pastry shop, a library, the very top of the labyrinth tower and other places.

    You can unplug your computer and tablet: Detective Pierre's adventures are more exciting than any gadgets.

    There are three books in the series: two wimmelbooks and one stickerbook with stickers (there are, for a moment, 800 pieces!). The story has a plot: you need to find Mister X and solve riddles and go through mazes along the way. For example: treat apples to a domestic elephant that walks on the deck. Decipher the secret message of the bookshelves. nine0003

    A new wimmelbook about Dog Chunya, who works as a courier in a warehouse. Every day he receives orders and rushes to deliver them to the right address. Parcel delivery is not easy and sometimes even dangerous. But Chunya is doing a great job. Open the book and you will see everything with your own eyes.

    Leafing through the book, the reader, together with Chunya, either sinks to the seabed, or soars up to the clouds on a bird-plane, or even gets on a rocket into another galaxy. nine0003

    “Since the job of a courier is traveling, I decided to link the spreads of the book with various modes of transport: cars, steamships, planes, rockets,” writes Wimmelbuch author Katerina Gorelik.

    Fantastically beautiful book. Inside it, you won't believe... fireflies! Bright, shining lights that flutter on every page. They are friends with the girl Sandy. Show your fantasy world. And they become the heroes of her paintings.

    This story is not quite ordinary: even adult readers will get goosebumps from admiration and fear from it.

    And children will definitely be delighted with the tension that grows from page to page.

    Incredible illustrations by Lorena Alvarez. The imagination of the girl Sandy is like an uncharted planet inhabited by bright and strange creatures. Therefore, every fantasy wants to be considered and considered.

    Perhaps this is one of the most fabulous comics published by MIF: the cover is made to look like fabric and decorated with gold embossing. It looks like a real balloon! nine0003

    The illustrations are reminiscent of canvas paintings. Panoramas of Bavarian landscapes and the sky - blue, blue, with white air clouds.

    The plot will captivate any reader. The child will not be able to tear himself away from intriguing events: the search for the ether, the missing Claire Dulac, a mysterious letter, an invitation to the castle of the Bavarian king and the dangers that await her husband Archibald and their son Serafina. And adult connoisseurs of graphic novels will like the design of the book and a large number of reliable historical facts. nine0003

    A beautiful book about animals is green forests, yellow sands, deep seas and dense jungles. On every page and in every line. Describing this book is incredibly difficult: how, for example, to explain why the sunset is beautiful? Here you need to look.

    Instead of regular text, the book contains verses. They were written by zoologist and poet Nicola Davis. She studied whales, bats and even worked for the BBC's Wildlife channel. In 2017, the book won Best Science Book for Children and won the Royal Society's Young People's Book Prize, the Royal Society's science award that selects outstanding non-fiction books from around the world. nine0003

    This book is as beautiful as a pile of autumn leaves. It will open to your child the poetically inspired world of nature: shells in the sand and shining stars in the sky, squirrels, ducks and moths, making a berry pie and treats for birds. Here, as in a homemade album, collected poems and notes about the seasons, animals and plants, recipes and interesting observations that remind us that the world of nature, full of wonders and mysteries, is waiting for us very close - you just need to step outside the threshold of the house.

    One foggy morning, a boy and his class go on a field trip to the Empire State Building. At the top of the tower, he meets a friendly cloud that invites him to visit the mysterious Cloud Distribution Center of the Seventh Sector (which includes New York).

    This station creates clouds and sends them to different parts of the world.

    But the clouds are terribly tired of the same shapes, and the boy decides to help by creating unusual images for them...
