Selecting the Perfect Picture Books
Books are one of my favorite gifts to give, but picking out “just the right” books can be a daunting task! These funny picture books are sure to please every kid (ages 0-8) on your list. (Pssst… Even adults will want to read these hilarious stories over and over again!)
Polar Bear’s Underwear by Tupera Tupera: What 3-year-old can resist a book about underwear? Kids will love the colorful pictures, repetitive text, and surprise ending as they try to guess which pair belongs to which animal. | |
Z is for Moose by Kelly Bingham: A laugh-out-loud alphabet book about patience, disappointment, and friendship. This silly book about a moose who can’t wait his turn will lead to giggles galore. | |
A Unicorn Named Sparkle by Amy Young: When a young girl orders a unicorn, she is surprised to discover he is not what she expected (he smells funny, has fleas, and eats tutus!). This charming book teaches kids about unconditional love and acceptance. | |
We Found a Hat by Jon Klassen: Two turtles find one hat. What will they do? The third of Jon Klassen’s “Hat” books has the same subtle humor as his other stories but is paired with an unexpectedly sweet ending. Buy all three (I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat) for the book lover in your life. | |
Stuck by Oliver Jeffers: When Floyd’s kite gets stuck in a tree, he throws something else up there to knock it down. But that gets stuck too. Kids will roar with laughter through the entire book and then ask you to read it again. You won’t mind at all! | |
Shh! We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton: Four little hunters have a plan to catch a bird, but things don’t always go as planned. Kids will catch on quickly to the repetitive text and cannot resist reading along. | |
Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems: All Mo Willems books are pure gold, but this is one of my favorites. Children will love feeling like they are the boss and will erupt into giggles when Pigeon throws a huge tantrum. | |
Penguin Problems by Jory John: Penguin has a lot of problems. His beak is cold, he doesn’t like snow, and he sinks like a rock. Penguins remind kids that sometimes it’s hard to be positive (no matter what a wise, old walrus might say). | |
Wolfie the Bunny by Ame Dyckman: When a bunny family adopts a wolf baby, sister Dot is convinced, “He’s going to eat us all up!” In the end, Dot learns that family is family no matter where you come from or what you look like. | |
Duck Duck Moose by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen: Two neat and tidy ducks are planning a party for their messy friend Moose, and chaos abounds. This book only has two words, but there’s plenty of humor packed in the pictures. It’s the perfect book for young kids who want to read all by themselves but aren’t quite there yet. | |
Wolfie the Bunny by Ame Dyckman: When a bunny family adopts a wolf baby, sister Dot is convinced “He’s going to eat us all up!” In the end, Dot learns that family is family no matter where you come from or what you look like. | |
Dragon Was Terrible by Kelly DiPucchio: Kids will love this hilarious story about a terrible dragon (who spits on cupcakes and steals candy from baby unicorns) and an unlikely hero. |
