Gift Guide: Best Books for Toddlers

What Do You Want?

With a delicate illustration blooming on each page, this quiet gem of a book from Sweden shows the intricate relationships between inanimate and animate objects: “The bee wants…its flower.” The chair wants—you guessed it!—its table.

Author/Illustrator: Written and Illustrated by Lars Klinting.

Why This Board Book Won’t Leave Your Toddler Feeling Bored: Okay, this title’s not a board book, but it should be. Just as toddlers love lists, and repetition, they also love pairs and discovering what goes with what. Toddlers understand that there are hidden and mysterious connections between things.
