I started reading to my daughter long before she was born. I have always loved books, and I knew that instilling a love of books in my children was important to me. Kids need your time and reading books to them is such an awesome way to spend time with them. They learn to associate good things with books which helps them in the long run. These three Bright Books board books for toddlers are ones your little ones will love because they are touch and feel board books. Thank you to the publishers for providing these for me to review.
Cute Board Books for Toddlers
Baby Bear’s Busy Day board book for toddlers
Join a young bear and his mother for their very busy day in the forest with Bright Books: Baby Bear’s Busy Day. This visually stunning board book features bright neon elements, soft touch-and-feel bears, and shiny foil that will capture baby’s full attention and imagination. With sweet, soothing text and gentle illustrations, this engaging board book will become a bedtime favorite. Follow along as baby bear has a day full of fun!
This book is adorable. I love how it goes through the sequence of a day because that really helps children understand the flow of time. From the day they are born, children are learning. If you can make that learning fun, they’ll learn to associate learning with fun! This board book for your toddlers is really sturdy, so you can allow your little one to handle this book alone without worrying about ripped up pages!

Bubble’s Ocean Friends
Swim along with Bubble in the deep, blue sea in this board book for toddlers: Bright Books: Bubble’s Ocean Friends! Follow Bubble on her adventure and discover turtles, starfish, crabs, and more. Lively rhyming text, bright, colorful illustrations, and shiny foiled details invite young readers to have hands-on story time. Page after page, babies and toddlers will have fun counting all of Bubble’s new ocean friends.
This one is my favorite of these board books for toddlers! I love the ocean, and blue is my favorite color. Bubble is so cute. In this book she counts the things she passes, so this will help your little ones learn counting before they can even talk. Again, this is very sturdy, so your child can play with the book alone.

Pebble from Kahiniwalla: Handmade and Hand Crocheted Fair Trade Products
All Pebble products are made by Hathay Bunano. Hathay Bunano, meaning handmade or hand knitted in Bangla, is a non-profit fair trade organization in Bangladesh. It’s mission is to create fairly paid, good quality, flexible and local employment for rural women who are poor and often disadvantaged. Hathay Bunano aims to provide employment which fits in with the rhythm of rural life and to prevent economic migration to the cities.
It aims to keep families together and in particular to keep mummies with their babies and children by providing employment in a village setting close to their homes. It aims to address all the reasons why a woman might not be able to work and to support her so that she can work and can earn money to support her family.
I love Pebble! If you browse their products, I’m sure you will as well. I got a cute little whale rattle. Though it’s not exactly like the one on their site, it is unique. I call it a crab/whale because it looks to be a cross between their crab rattle and the whale rattle. Since these are handmade, I like to think maybe a new mommy was just starting out making these, and this was her project.
Your child will love playing at the beach with Pebble toys, and since they’re machine washable in cold water, you don’t need to worry about them getting dirty.
Which of the board books do you think your child would like most? What Pebble product would be your favorite? I’d love to hear what you think!

My daughter-in-law is expecting her first child and these books would be a perfect gift. I love the crocheted whale rattle and the fact that they are handmade by poor, rural women in Bangladesh. What a great way to provide employment for the mothers in those villages. It warms my heart!

Kids would love the book Bubble’s Ocean Friends. I found it fun to read books to my kids where they were young. I wish we had this counting book back then. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this to friends and family with young children. Counting is fun!

I am always on the look out for great books for my grandchildren or any children. Giving a book as a gift is something that keeps on giving and the world opens up. Love these bear books.
Christy Maurer says
I think books are such a great gift! I love sharing the ones I get with others since my kids are past this stage. My daughter will be sharing these with her friends’ babies.
Sheri says
I read a lot when I was little and my toddler is a reader so I think it is never to early to read to kids and get them into reading. WITH all this technology today, reading books is falling aside.
Christy Maurer says
I know it! Books are so much more amazing than any tech could ever be. They let you escape to another world that you create in your mind!
maurene Cab says
Shadow’s NIghtime Adventures seems like a story for my baby. I love what the story is all about.
Christy Maurer says
Your baby needs these! They’re so cute!
Sandy N Vyjay says

Christy Maurer says
They are very cute! I’ll bet she would.
Kimberly @ Berly's Kitchen says
These books are really cute and the rattle is adorable. I have a couple of friends who have 10-month-olds that might like these.
Christy Maurer says
That’s the perfect age for these!
Jenny says
My daughter is 2 and loves books. She has to take a nap with them everyday, it’s so cute. That whale is adorable too!
