Zoo animal books for toddlers! Board books that toddlers can hold and manipulate as they learn about zoo animals around the world!
One of my favorite things to do is to read with my grandson as I did with my own kids when they were little. I have a huge collection of board books that he can hold and look at on his own.
But, my favorite thing is when he climbs in my lap with a book for me to read to him.
