Books are the perfect gift ideas for a baby shower! Your baby girl (or baby boy) will love looking through the books (and eventually reading them). Here are my top 20 entertaining books to read to baby!

Like most moms, I wanted my son to love reading. And even though it will be a few years before he’s actually reading I knew I had to start early.

When he was six weeks old I would sit him on my lap and read books to him. Well, I say read books but it was more pointing to the pictures and telling him what we saw. To be totally honest at first I thought it was totally pointless…but I needed something to fill our time so choosing to read to baby was a great fit.

To this day Dalton loves reading books with both me and my husband. We read books 3-4 times a day (always before naptime and bedtime) and he will sit for 30 minutes at a time soaking it all in.

We were given a ton of books as gifts at his baby shower so I’ve read my fair share of baby books. Let me just say that there are some books that I don’t enjoy reading. (Is that bad?!) I can promise you that those books did not make it onto this list. These are all books that we love and have read over and over and over…

Now on to the list!
