2020 Gift Guide: Board Books & Picture Books
Today I’m sharing 25 board books and picture books that would make great gifts this holiday season! With all of these titles having been published in 2020, you’re less likely to be getting a duplicate copy for the readers in your life.
Whether you’re looking for silly, sweet, empowering, or adorable books, this list has got you covered. I’ve marked a few that are specifically board books – perfect for the three and under crowd. There are also some great books even elementary school kids would love as well. Don’t discount picture books for a child who is reading on their own. Many picture books have extensive vocabularies and build reading skills.
You may not see a “Best of” list on my blog, but you’ll always see my favorites, and these stood out to me in 2020. If you’re looking for more great titles check out my 19 Favorite Picture books for 2019!
If you can do me a huge favor, I’m going to share my affiliate links to both Amazon and Bookshop.org. By purchasing these titles from either link, I’ll receive a small percentage, which means more books for me too!
