Read These 24 Must Have Books for 1 Year Olds
I had a friend just ask me for titles for a 2-year old’s birthday and realized that although I made some great titles for really young babies (my starter list for babies from 0-6 months and my next list for babies 7-12 months) I had forgotten about toddler board books. Here’s a list of 24 books for 1 year olds, borrow them from the library, purchase them for your family or friends, but don’t miss a title on this list – they are all must reads! I tried to focus on concept books and books with popular topics for little ones in this list.
