Top 8 Books for 2 to 3 Year Olds

If your toddler is putting up a fight during bedtime because they want you near, Llama Llama Red Pajama is the perfect book to start with. What could be more comforting to a little one than knowing that a llama feels the same way they do?!

Toddlers can use their fingers to make dinosaur’s jaws chomp and make the tail swoosh. Great way to learn about lesser known dinosaurs and to satisfy the need of a dinosaur-obsessed toddler. This tops the list as one of the best books for 2 to 3 year olds.

Your child will love poking their finger through the pages pretending to be a dolphin! They’ll get to experience life below the surface! The illustrations are simply stunning.

This fun rhyming book follows the adventures of a lovable pig who gets into everything (and I mean everything)! This is one of my favorite books for 2 to 3 year olds.

If you thought the old lady who swallowed a fly was bit odd, image meeting a lady who swallowed a bell (and a sleigh)! A delightful book to read in December.

This dump truck is small but mighty! This rhyming book illustrates the day in the life of a dump truck who is proud of the job he does.

Bruce the Bear is a bit grumpy, despite many attempts by friends who ‘bring the party’. The illustrations are fantastic and most adults will laugh because they have probably met a Grumpy Bruce at some point in their lives.

This book focuses on a group of animals cheering up their sad friends. They do everything in their power to make them feel happy…and then they all celebrate together! If you’ve ever had a toddler who woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and you spent time trying to turn that frown upside down (into a smile), you’ll be able to relate. One of the must-read books for 2 to 3 year olds.
