The hustle and bustle of the holiday season has finally passed, but now another one is fast approaching.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Don’t stress though, I already put together a list of gift basket ideas you can surprise your children with.
One thing I always like to put in my toddler’s gift baskets is books!
I am very picky when it comes to books for my kids! I always read samples of the book when purchasing online or flip through them in store.
So just know, you can trust these book recommendations.
I’ve made a roundup of Valentine books for toddlers, specifically for ages 0-5. These books are loved by both me and my daughter and I’m sure your littles will enjoy these too.
Let’s get into it!
Valentine Books for Toddlers and Babies
This is probably my all time favorite. I’m sure you’ve seen it circulating around for the past few years. Let me tell you, it’s worth the hype, but prepare yourself for the tears. Love Is, shares a story about a girl and a duckling she finds and cares for until one day the duckling becomes fully grown and she has to let it go. A truly heartwarming story about the ups and downs of love.
This book is about a family who grows and sells plants in their diverse community. Through this, they learn all about different types of love that grow in different types of places. Love Grows Everywhere is a beautifully illustrated book, with a message just as beautiful.
A short, cute and sweet rhyming story about all the reasons Baby loves Valentine’s Day. Be sure to check out the full holiday collection: My Baby Loves Christmas and My Baby Loves Halloween.
Get ready to burst into laughter. The rhyming is silly and wholesome, the perfect book for both children and adults! I especially love it for little boys.
God’s Great Love For You teaches and reminds children that God’s love is with them everywhere they go. The text is simple and easy to read for littles and it’s a great introduction to God.
We adore Sandra Boynton in my household and have built up a collection over time. Her books are short, sweet, and full of silly storytelling and fun illustrations. Your Nose is no different! An ode to love between parents and children and those cute kissable noses!
Love is a Truck, is a cute book perfect for all your truck-obsessed kiddos! The high-contrast colors and illustrations are visually appealing and the story is easy for kids to follow along.
Pretty obvious from its title, the Hug Machine is about a sweet boy who loves to hug! From people to animals to objects, everything and everyone needs a hug.
I don’t know what it is about this book, but my daughter is obsessed, she pulls it out just about everyday! It’s full of silly puns and bright illustrations. A fun and colorful expression of love.
From the author of the beloved The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Love is just as special. The perfect read for littles, its adorable illustrations and easy text to follow your kids will enjoy.
Little Blue Truck is off delivering Valentines, but can’t help but wonder if he will get any of his own. This book has fun foiled accents throughout and other fun surprises you and your kids will love!
A warm and tender, yet hilarious story about the depths of love. I’ll Love You Till The Cows Come Home is filled with catchy rhymes and adorable illustrations. It’s not only a great Valentine’s Day gift but also a staple baby shower gift!
