Why are board books good for toddlers?
Board books are a great choice for toddlers because they are sturdy and durable, making them perfect for little hands that tend to be rough with delicate items.
They also have thick pages that can withstand drool and spills, which is common during this stage of development.
These books also usually have simple and repetitive text, making it easier for toddlers to follow along and engage with the story.
