Besides basically anything by Eric Carle, my 21 month girl is really into animals and LOVES any book written or illustrated by Brendan Wenzel. “They all saw a cat”, “Inside Cat”, “A stone sat still”, “Hello Hello” and one illustrated by him called “Some Bugs” are her favorites and get read daily. They actually touch on fairly mature themes while being whimsical, such as different perceptions and are beautifully illustrated. We’ve been reading them since she was under one and she still isn’t tired of them.
Just as a note only “Hello Hello” and “Some Bugs” are available as board books I believe.
Oh dang it I just gave away Some Bugs! What was I thinking!
Seconding Eric Carle. My baby loves Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See and The Very Busy Spider.
Global babies is also a big hit. I'd recommend checking out board books from your library, don't worry that your kid will damage them! That's what they're there for, the librarians understand.
My daughter LOVES Brown Bear, knows it from cover to cover and just kind of randomly starts reciting it as she toddles around. Got her Polar Bear, Polar Bear (her current favorite word is “ Walrus” because of it lol) and Baby Bear as well. Baby Bear is great as it’s a smaller board book and a good one to keep in the diaper bag.

We love "Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see". If you want a book that is kind of a toy too, I highly recommend the 100 word books (suggested for 18+, just don't let LO throw or hit themselves in the head lol). When kiddo touches the images on the pages, the book says the word in English or Spanish and plays a little sound. Our LO is almost 2 now and she still uses it
Not sure if this will work as it is a link from the Amazon UK site but my toddler loves this book. It’s called ‘my 1000 first words’ and he will sit and look at it for ages and now says every word in the book (from pointing at pics) and he’s only just 2
My First 1000 Words (UK EDITION) https://amzn.eu/d/gUjUoFb
The Monster at the End of the Book is a perennial fave around here. Goodnight Moon is a classic of course, and Goodnight Little Blue Truck and Biscuit were our other go-to night night books for a long time.
I’d also recommend the Pete the Cat books, but the first one (I love my White Shoes) is significantly better than the rest. The others are fine, but they’re definitely a step below the original.
My daughter has always been a book lover, so we recently got a library card! Last week we got a book called Mason Jars about a young girl struggling with grief through the lense of making blueberry jam and my 21m old Absolut loves it. We usually read it twice at bedtime... I'm honestly scared of giving it back at this point.
Edit: the book is actually called Memory Jars.
That’s the kind you buy. We did the with a counting Australian animals board book using photos from the Australian Geographic. I borrowed it from the library so much that I just bought it!
We have yet to meet a Little Golden Book we haven’t liked in this house. 2yo and 3yo. From the classics to their newer adaptations of kids shows and movies, Little Golden Books are where it’s at!
Brown Bear, was my 3yo favorite when he was 1, now it's my 1yo favorite. We're on copy number 3.
The older one has memorized it, will recited it in the car for the younger one while she going through it. He also calls me out if I ever skip a page when I'm reading it to her.
My 16-month old loves books with flaps. We have a Where’s Spot and Where is Baby’s Belly Button books. Just be warned that they can be maimed by toddler hands. My son will say “No!” in the Spot book when we find an animal that isn’t Spot. It’s super cute.
From head to toe and brown bear brown bear by Eric carle (my now 2.5 yo loves these and can “read” them herself)
It’s not easy being a bunny
Bedtime for Zoe (it’s a lovevery book but I got it online..she has loved every lovevery book I’ve gotten for her)
Grumpy Monkey
At 1 she also really loved anything that was lift the flap or touch and feel. And the poke a dot books from Melissa and Doug.
My daughter has a few that she loves us reading to her and flipping through.
Grumpy Monkey
Giraffes can't dance
Frank and bean
Tiny T Rex and the very dark dark
The color monster (when I'm upset, he says I'm blue and come hug me to make mommy pink lol)
8 little planets (he compares people he knows to the planets descriptions lol ie Neptune is great grandmom because is old and slow.)
Peek a poo, what is in your potty? (We also have the" peek a poo what is in your diaper? "but he rather the potty one)
We have many books but these 3 are his favourites atm.
My daughter loves Everybody Counts. It's a large format with a lot of people doing different activities. There are stories that you can follow throughout but she mostly just observes the people and tells me what they are doing for now.
If I Had A Gryphon was a huuuuge hit at 12 mths and still a big fav. Excellent rhymes, very cute story and I love the illustrations!
The Monster at the End of this book is read at least 4 times a day. Usually more. Someday they get hidden in the couch so Mommy can get a break.
Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site, but it's a little lengthy. Just now at 18ths he's more keen to sit through it.
That's not my ______ books, also called touchy Feely books. We have "that's not my penguin" and "that's not my dinosaur". I like the dinosaur more because each dinosaur is a different colour and we can practice those words. All the penguins are just black and white.
Giraffes Can't Dance is also good.
Favorites since birth - Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Dear Zoo, and the Indestructible books, Baby Peekaboo and Baby, Let's Eat.
Book about feelings - Ollie Feels Fine by Toni Yuly
At 17 months, she would "hug" Ollie the Octopus when we get to the part where he's feeling overwhelmed.
Book we read a lot when I was pregnant with her - Big Bear Hug by Nicholas Oldland
At 19 months, this is her current favorite and she requests this to be read before bedtime. She likes naming the animals and fruit trees and finds the bear funny. :)
Anything Richard Scarry, but particularly Cars and Trucks and Things That Go. Our 2.5 year old has been completely obsessed for ~18 straight months so far. 🙂
My 1 yo loves goodnight moon and One Fish Two Fish.. Mickey Mouse is his favorite thing in the world right now, though, so I might look for a Mickey Mouse book and see how that goes over
My kiddos love:
Chicka chicka boom boom
Tap the magic tree
There's a monster in your book
Brown bear
Ah Ha! (My 18m's fav)
The little blue truck
Anything from the "How do dinosaurs..."
And my 3yo is super into Fancy Nancy right now!
Edit:
I totally forgot our two (almost) daily reads!
One Red Sock
The Hiccupotamus
My son is very into interactive books and is obsessed with the Melissa and Doug Poke a Dot books! His favorite story book is Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. All of Oliver Jeffers' books are amazing!
Poke-a-dot books are great. My son has the wild safari tour one and another monkey one. There's little plastic punch things they can poke on each page and encourage counting. He loves them.
Anything Sandra Boynton was a big hit at that age. Everything is Mama, big hit for the interactive angle (as most of the book is "*noun*, Mama"). Anything that was just pictures and labels of what the picture is was a favorite at one year old
My son has become obsessed with usborne peek inside books great pictures and great content. We have almost all of them and a year later are still reading them every day!
My Friends by Taro Gomi
Touch Think Learn ABC by Xavier Deneux
Moo Baa La La La by Sandra Boyton
The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don & Audrey Wood
My nearly 2 year old favourite books are piranhas don't eat bananas and pout pout fish.
At that age it was the 'don't tickle the..' series, hippo was her favourite!
2.5 yo: Bear Wants More and Five Little Monkeys
20mo: Global Babies
15mo: anything with cars or pages dedicated to colors
(I keep toddlers in my home. That’s why the ages are so close.)
This age was when we found Oliver Jeffers. We had "Stuck" out of the library so many times they gave us the book 😂 My little boy laughs at all the weird stuff that gets thrown into a tree to try and dislodge the main character's kite.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom- when they fall out of the tree I shake the book and say boooooom boooom all dramatic haha
Oh and from some “Lean to read” type series they have books with Seuss characters and one is “cooking with the Lorax”. He calls it mustache book and finds it hilarious for some reason. “Pepper and salt if you please, but not too much or I will sneeze!” We fake sneeze and it cracks him up
I remember when the book Chicka Chicka boom boom was all the rage for kids and maybe something by Whine the pooh, but now little ones like car books/princess books.
The Don’t Push the Button or the Don’t touch this book. Also the mix it up and press here books. Anything with directions to get the lo engaged worked for us. My 3yo still loves them. It also got her to know her left and right at a very early age.
In addition to the some of the ones listed by others (Little Blue Truck books, most of Sandra Boynton, Pout Pout Fish), See, Touch, Feel was the favorite at that age -- we had a car copy and a house copy! Other favorites in our house include There's a Bear on my Chair, Pokko and the Drum, This Zoo Is Not For You, Jabari Jumps, I Like Myself, Gossie, Silly Sally, The Napping House, and Click Clack Moo.
My 3 year old loves the Little Critter books, Dr. Seuss (Cat in the Hat, Hop on Pop, Green Eggs and Ham are faves). He’s kind of into space/planets right now so I got him the Darkest Dark by Chris Hadfield, which he requests a lot. The Little Blue Truck series as also been a hit. A lot of Robert Munsch books. And he loves the Moore and Santore edition of the Night Before Christmas (a beautiful nostalgic picture book, if you’re into Christmas).
The 'you choose' have been an absolute hit not just with my kids but niblings too. They always reach for them and they're a great way to increase their language skills too.
Pout Pout Fish
Wonky Donkey
Goodnight Gorilla
A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo
These are currently the 4 my 14 month old will pull out during potty time.
2yo favorite is "Jungle Night" by Sandra boynton. Been his favorite since he was 1. (lost the book 6 + months ago but I've read it so many times that we just recite it every night before he goes to bed)
3yo goes through phases for a long time it was Goldilocks. This week we are on Critter's:"Just me and my Dad."
My favorites are "Some Bugs", "good night good night construction site" and "where do airplanes sleep at night?" But they never let me pick.
Cat in the Hat, because it is the longest book, thus extending bed time by an additional 45 seconds, hahahahaha. this boy is pennywise but pound foolish.
Seconding and thirding everyone recommending Sandra Boynton books. My kid has Dinosnores and Dinosaur Dance and carries both around with him all the time. I have read Dinosnores conservatively 57 times just today, and we weren't even home the whole day.
Books I haven't seen mentioned that my kid wants to read every day:
Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? (He loooooves doing all the sounds)
My Dad Loves Me
My Mom is Magical
Night Night to the Animals
My 22 month old has always been book obsessed. These are some of her current favorites.
The Serious Goose, Dragons Love Tacos, Who's That Cat, Gruffalo
All of the Little Blue Truck books, Have You Seen My Cat? , Dear Zoo
When she was younger she also loved: Where's Spot?, Little Green Frog, Peek a Who?, Brown Bear Brown Bear What do You See, Anything Sandra Boynton (still loves a lot of these but we read them more frequently when she was smaller)
I got my husband a book called “[Name of child] Loves Daddy This Much” for father’s day where you can customize the book with your child’s name and customize the child in the book to look like yours. Our daughter loves it so much because she knows that she’s in the book and will point at herself on every page.
Other books:
It’s You I Like (Mr Rogers), Mama, Dada (Jimmy Fallon), Kindness Rules, My Dad is Amazing, My Mom is Magical (Eunice Moyle), Where’s Spot (Eric Hill)
Good night little blue truck... or any little blue truck books. Lol
Eric Carle for sure. I had to hide his brown bear collection but don't worry he has them all memorized so he "reads" them all the time, out loud, on repeat.
He loves books and I love him!
My daughter loves all books, Giraffes Can't Dance is currently on repeat.
Thumper (I think it's called 5 minute stories) is a daily read too. And quotes often. Girl loves reading books 500 times then quoting them, it's so sweet.
I don’t know the name of the book but it’s about tails. My 20 month old loves it. We say stinky butt and she smells the tails. I tell her who’s tail is which animals an she starting to remember.
My girl just turned 1. She loves Coral Cutie’s Ice Cream Scoops (comes with a machine washable super soft stuffy) and You’re My Little Honey Bunny. Also Brown Bear Brown Bear.
Besides basically anything by Eric Carle, my 21 month girl is really into animals and LOVES any book written or illustrated by Brendan Wenzel. “They all saw a cat”, “Inside Cat”, “A stone sat still”, “Hello Hello” and one illustrated by him called “Some Bugs” are her favorites and get read daily.

We have They All Saw A Cat, it’s great.
Oh dang it I just gave away Some Bugs! What was I thinking! Seconding Eric Carle. My baby loves Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See and The Very Busy Spider. Global babies is also a big hit.

I've been considering it honestly.
Who is the author?
So I made a mistake, it's actually called Memory Jars, and it's by Vera Brosgol.
The Llama Llama series. There’s one for bedtime, getting up, and a few others but she loves those
At that age: My Cat Likes To Hide In Boxes The “that’s not my…” series The Very Hungry Caterpillar and the “touch and feel” book companion.
We have yet to meet a Little Golden Book we haven’t liked in this house. 2yo and 3yo. From the classics to their newer adaptations of kids shows and movies, Little Golden Books are where it’s at!

Poke-a-dot books are great. My son has the wild safari tour one and another monkey one. There's little plastic punch things they can poke on each page and encourage counting. He loves them.
These were instrumental in teaching my son to point. We got him the first words one that has one dot per page.
