Reading to kids from the beginning is one of the best ways to raise kids who love reading. Board books are a great resource for little ones because they can stand up to babies and toddlers who don’t understand how to be gentle yet. We have covered a lot of board books on the blog, so I decided to round them up and share our list of the best board books for kids!
