The National Geographic Kids Baby Animals is another Montessori-friendly toddler book about animals. The lorikeets stood out to me as an example because we’ve fed the lorikeets at the zoo and it’s great to see so many of our zoo’s animals in one book. The animal names tend to be fairly specific, like rainbow lorikeet, which is something a Montessori-inspired parent will appreciate. The pages are organized by theme (like animals that live in the desert or animals from Australia) and tabs allow you to easily turn to a particular section. My First Animals is another great choice for your animal-loving toddler. Each page has a bold background color and just one animal. I love that it has different types of animals listed by name (for example, there isn’t just a generic “bird,” there’s a spread with all different types of bird including macaws, flamingos, toucans, kukoburos, and more!)īabies, young toddlers, and toddlers who aren’t quite as interested in animals may prefer the Bright Babies Animals. It has 10 thick, large pages with bold photographs of animals and their names. My Big Animal Book is another of Priddy’s. We have an adult cat and a kitten and she knows which is which, so I think it’s a good idea to introduce these common pairings early. Some people think the handful of adult/baby animal photos are redundant, but we like them. I like that the roughly 4.5×6” book is small enough for her to handle well and has sturdy pages, she loves the bright colors and animal photographs. The only downside is that, like virtually every book with flaps, the flaps will eventually bend with rough handling.įirst 100 Animals is one of my daughter’s favorite books. It’s physically larger than the smaller “100 first…” books at about 10″ square, and it also has different content from the smaller First 100 Animals. It has a combination of bright photographs with some illustrations. I’ve noticed that it can be hard for a young toddler to recognize a stylized drawing of an animal, so this section shares my top picks for animal board books with photographs.įirst 100 Animals: Lift the Flap is just as fun as all Rodger Priddy’s other books for young children. There are lots of illustrated, whimsical books about animals, but finding books with realistic photographs of animals for toddlers can be more difficult.
