These are fun books for the kids to read. Some of them I’ve seen before, but most are new to me. I still have a few days to get some of these books for my grandchildren. I’d give some to my 3 year old niece too. Thank you for letting me know about these books!
I miss when I could still read to my kids. Now they read their own books. I am just glad that I started them early, they love reading now that they are older.
These are all extremely cute! My son loves to read and I know his favorite type of reading is stuff that makes him giggle. I bet he would love a lot of these books.
Pete the Cat is so popular around my grandchildren house. Curious George is always a favorite. Wonderful choices here. Something for every age and for boys and girls.

Love all these options. As a former teacher, I love buying and reading books to my grands!
The Day it Rained Hearts looks like such a fun book! My kids always loved Curious George. I love gifting books at special holidays like Valentine’s Day to encourage my grandkids to read more.
My daughter is 16 now, but her favorite book was one you mentioned above. ‘I Love You Because You’re You’. She would NOT go to bed without me reading that to her and making funny ‘mommy’ voices she called them, and tickling her tummy lol.
We actually don’t have any of these, so I am excited for your suggestions. I am going to pick up a few for my kids.
You absolutely CANNOT go wrong with these titles. I love recommending these to customers for Valentine’s Day. My favorite? Definitely Pete the Cat!
