Reading to your little one is one of the most important things for their development. It not only develops their language and listening skills, it also stimulates their imagination! You as a parent are one of the most important educators in your child's life. So reading to them is a great way to boost their educational performance!
I could go on and on about why reading is so important to a child's development, but instead we are going to get started on the list of the best books to create baby's first library.
In order to easier build your library and sort through the great list of books I sorted them into ten categories:

Classic Books
These classic children books have stood the test of time, and I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon. I remember my mom reading them to me back in the day, now it's my turn to read them to my daughter, and hopefully someday my daughter will read them to her children.

I had never heard of Goodnight Moon until I babysat for my nephews recently and read it to them. They love that book! It works really well getting them ready for bed. Of course, I also love me some Green Eggs and Ham. Great list, thanks!
Yes, it is the perfect bedtime book! And you can never go wrong with Dr. Seuss!
Oooh gonna need this soon for the new little one, thank you!
Make sure to pin, so you have it handy to refer to later! And congrats on your little one!
WOW! What an amazing list! My favorite book growing up was Rainbow Fish and I have read to my boys the book On the Night you where born a million times because I love it. I think I can recite it in my sleep now. LOL
Yes, Rainbow Fish was a big hit when I was younger as well! And that is exactly how I am with Giraffes Can't Dance!
