Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett
I love this quirky story of a girl who just keeps churning out one yarn project after another, far past what any ball of yarn should be able to sustain.

I absolutely LOVE Little Hoot (and the other books in this series) and the little owl who just wants to go to bed early but has to stay up late because “in this family, that’s what we do” never ceases to delight me.

This Caldecott winning picture book is narrated by James Earl Jones and it’s truly spectacular.

Bear’s Loose Tooth by Karma Wilson
For every child waiting anxiously for their first loose tooth, this delightful book is a gem.
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems
This might possibly be my all-time favorite retelling of Goldilocks. It’s just so darn funny.

This sweet book about all the different kinds of color in the world is a delight and can spark some really great conversations about how we all see things differently.
The Berenstain Bears’ New Pup by Stan & Jan Berenstain
Bringing home a new puppy isn’t easy but the Bear cubs are up for the challenge.
Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann
Tally will listen to Pinkalicious non-stop – she’s an absolute super fan (I bought this one because she kept using my Audible credits to buy it via Alexa).
Mother Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins
Have you read the Mother Bruce books? This grumpy bear accidentally lets some little goslings imprint on him and now they’re convinced he’s their mother.
Blue Sky White Stars by Sarvinder Naberhaus
This lyrical book is a beautiful nod America’s history and the images that represent it.

There’s no one fancier than Nancy and this book that kicks off this massively popular series is one my girls love to listen to on repeat.

If you’ve read My Side of the Mountain, this is a delightful picture book about Frightful, Sam’s beloved falcon.
The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn
If you can’t read this one without tearing up a little, an audiobook is a really good solution.
Splat the Cat by Rob Scotton
It’s the first day of school and Splat is very worried about making friends. So naturally he brings his best mouse pal along to cat school. What could possibly go wrong?
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr.
I’m not sure there is ANY board book I have read more in my life than this one.

This funny book reminds me a lot of Frog and Toad with two neighbors that are trying to deal with the delivery of a terrible couch from an aunt who is downsizing and trying to offload her belongings.
Mr. Putter & Tabby Turn the Page by Cynthia Rylant
This easy reader chapter book series is a hit with so many preschoolers and early elementary schoolers – in this edition, Mr. Putter goes to the library for some new reading material. But the library might be less quiet and calm than they expect.
The Case of the Missing Jelly Donut by Denys Cazet
I LOVE Minnie and Moo and their completely absurd adventures.

This book has been a favorite for years at our house – every one of my girls has absolutely LOVED the adventures of Penny the mouse.

If you come over to our house on a random day, the odds of this audiobook playing are at least 50%. I’ve snapped them up on sale before and they never fail to calm a grumpy toddler down.
The Otter by Cynthia Rylant
This short book is one of several in a series about all kinds of different animals that live near a lighthouse.

Question- if it’s a picture book, do you really only get the audio, or can you view the pictures, too?
Some of them have images, but the vast majority of them are audio only.
“Penny and Her…” books are my 3 year olds favorite right now! I’ve read them 100xs! So thankful to have found the audiobook! 🙂
