You can’t go wrong with this Dr. Seuss board books boxed set!  

The Eric Hill “Spot” books were another favorite with my kids!  I read them so many times that I still have them memorized.

My son LOVED this Thomas boxed set! I finally passed them on to someone else about a year ago. This was another set that we read so many times that I memorized them!

The Karen Katz books are so cute, too!  They’re great for bedtime routines, teaching your little one about body parts and more!

My son doesn’t love reading but he couldn’t put The One and Only Ivan down.  He actually told me to “be quiet” because he was reading one day!  My daughter loved it too when she was his age!

A Wrinkle in Time will be released as a movie soon.  I bought the boxed set, which includes FIVE books and I was able to include another book, too, so that I could use the coupon.  I added Crenshaw (written by Katherine Applegate, who also wrote The One & Only Ivan).
