What interactive books does your 13 month (or around that age) love?

I started doing The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Wide Mouth Frog, and Dr.Seuss books after we got past the Spot books. My toddler will occasionally go grab his "Not my.." books though since he loves to say what's coming next. The Napping House is a current favorite as well, but took some time to get to and enjoy. Same for If you give a Mouse a Cookie/Moose a Muffin books.

I also liked to start with asking about colors, shapes, and animals across pages to solicit feedback from baby even on books he was past engaging with on a story level. It helped him master that info in a way that made it fun and when he asked for more stories we did the small board short read Dr.Seuss books and graduated into the full books as he was closer to 2. We do love a Berenstein Beard story too. There are good compressed volumes with several stories and he LOVES those.

We live the Don't tickle books, published by the same people that do the that's not my books but they're make noises and are more interactive. I actually run a business selling children's books, please DM me if I can help at all xx

Things like there’s a dragon/dinosaur/monster etc in your book are great. No flaps or touchy feely bits but gets involved in the story and asks them to do actions or say things or touch things on the page to progress the story along.

Feely Bugs is basic, but great. Dear Zoo is a great lift the flap to add to your collection. Don't Look Inside is fun. What's on my Farm and Marley Bear at the Farm are nice. Don't you Dare Brush my Hair is cute. Have you Ever Tickled a Tiger. Chomp Goes the Alligator. Follow Us. Follow Me Around the World. You could try a Poke-a-Dot book, although they are not my favorite. A 3 button sound book like Hoppy Little Frog or Love You Little Potamus.

And in a little while, 'Press Here', and 'Touch the Brightest Star'. 'Stir, Crack, Whisk, Bake' is also excellent.

Around that age, we were reading good night George (curious George the monkey book), blue clues books (helped with his pointing when we point where the clue is), goodnight moon. Right now at 18 months, he loves the llama llama books (llama llama misses mama, llama llama home with mama, etc). A book with flaps/touch is You're my little baby, a book with good colors/animals Brown Bear What do you See book. Also an Outer Space touch and feel book.

We have several of the collection Peekaboo (by Ingela Arrhenius) and Bizzy bear an he keeps playing with them after many months.

Thank you everyone for such great recommendations 😊 my little book worm will be very pleased and excited when I pick a few to purchase.

Let me also throw in a recommendation for a visual/front-facing bookshelf. It's great for encouraging early reading, and once you are ready to leave board books behind it can easily become a place for figurines, or even craft supplies.

I know I'm late, but I'm following. These look like some great suggestions. What I've been doing lately is borrowing books from the library and if I see that he likes it I'll purchase them.

Here's a few he likes:
