The best way to build lifelong literacy skills—and a love of reading!—is to give little ones books that keep them excited and engaged. Fortunately, interactive board books and picture books are perfect for this!

By allowing beginner bookworms a chance to engage with not only the story but the book itself, toddlers and early readers have a chance to engage their curiosity and emotions while developing their reading comprehension and language skills.

Here are a few of our recent interactive favorites; what are some of yours?

Is This a Plum? by Dan & Finn Ojari

Twenty Questions by Mac Barnett & Christian Robinson

Breathe a Rainbow by Julie Koon

Reach In! by Hervé Tullet
