Books for toddlers

Isnt' it terrible that there aren't more? I know that one but it is more geared to the mom I think, than the feelings of the toddler. I have always used the Kissing Hand for the 'goodbye and we'll be together again' value, but it is more about the child going off to school. Let's see if some others have some good ideas! I'd love to know about more options too!

I, too, really like the Kissing Hand. I think the message is an awesome one. My SIL has the "sequal", too, called "A pocket full of kisses" which is geared towards kids with a new little sibling. It's awesome, as well.

I agree that there is a real dearth of these and a huge market for them -- one of us needs to write one!

Here's a different idea (which we used for our daughter's adoption story): how about taking some photos of the sequence of your morning (i.e. getting up, eating breakfast, getting in the car, day care, waving to mom, mom at work) and making your own book? There's a lot of great on-line services, or if you have a Mac, you can use ibook. You can add simple lines of text too if you want - the end result looks like a real, hard-bound book.

that's a really cool idea. I think I might make a few of those for the boys. Winkflash.com is a pretty good site and they have bound photo books starting at $12, I think.

They also make good presents for grandparents and such.

I have a book called, "I love you all day long", which I love!
