Best Books for Babies 2019
For the twentieth time since 2000, a group of local librarians and child development experts has sorted through the previous year’s publications to select and promote the ten Best Books for Babies.
The Best Books for Babies project is intended to encourage reading beginning at birth and recognize publishers who create excellent books for the very youngest listeners. The books selected, from sturdy board books to fun lift-the-flap titles to charming picture book portraits of young families, will delight and engage babies age birth through 18 months and the adults who care for them.
Pick one up soon and share it with a baby in your life. In addition to spending some cozy time together you’ll be preparing baby’s brain to learn and grow.

In this board book, photographs of babies show a variety of emotions, and the attached fold-out mirror encourages infants and toddlers to practice their own facial expressions and emotions.
