It’s great for children to have access to books and even better when you spend quality time reading. Build healthy bedtime habits with these top bedtime books for toddlers.
As my son has become increasingly interested in books, he’s also very particular about the books he wants to be read at night. We have a small bookshelf in his room and a small stack of books by the glider. The stack of books are what’s currently in his favorites and we rotate once he’s bored of them. But, he usually rotates through the same books.
Many of the books on this list were part of my daughter’s bedtime routine as a toddler. So, I’d say they’ve stood the test of time. In fact, every now and again I find a few “misplaced” in her room and have to relocate them to the toddler’s room.
These are my toddler’s favorite bedtime books!

Pajama Time
This is a fun book (as Sandra Boynton books usually are) for toddlers about all kinds of pajamas. And, as is expected with her books, it gets sing-songy.

The Going to Bed Book
“Boat … boat” my son points out. I think he enjoys the end of the book best when he can see the boat, but the whole story keeps him entertained.

Where Do Diggers Sleep At Night?

Farmyard Beat
This is a fun sing-song sort of bedtime book. Maybe a little too upbeat for putting the tots to bed, but if your toddler is really tired, maybe it won’t matter. It doesn’t seem to be problematic for my already lively little guy.

My Turtle and Me
This sweet book was given to my daughter when she was a toddler. The turtle on the book used to light up when pressed, but no longer does. It doesn’t really take away from the story of a child and his turtle!

Amazing post.These are all great suggestions! thanks for sharing . Recently I have bought a baby book called “Sophie la Girafe Big Beep Beep Book” which encourages babie’s imagination and identification skills as they lift the tabs to identify the vehicle noises underneath each one.
