"This book ate my dog" is pretty funny. It's by Richard Byrne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2760973 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 10:35:55 +0000 farawayyama 2760973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 3. We love:</p> <p>Anything by Mo Willems, especially the Pigeon books.<br /> The How do Dinosaurs...? books<br /> Any and all of the Usborne lift the flap books - we read the peek inside ones together and she then enjoys "reading" the see inside ones.<br /> I love the Christie Matheson interactive books - Touch the Brightest Star, Tap the Magic Tree and Plant the Tiny Seed.<br /> The Marmaduke Duck books are a huge hit with DD and the kids in the preschool Mum used to teach. They aren't available on Amazon but are available on abe books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2760784 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 22:05:47 +0000 Maysprout 2760784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Marilyn's Monster <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/Marilyn_s_Monster.html?id=XMi9DgAAQBAJ&#038;printsec=frontcover&#038;source=kp_read_button" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books/about/Marilyn_s_Monster.html?id=XMi9DgAAQBAJ&#038;printsec=frontcover&#038;source=kp_read_button</a></p> <p>The Littlest Dinosaur by Michael Foreman </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2760583 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 10:48:34 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2760583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes.</p> <p>Dragons Love Tacos.</p> <p>Kiss Goodnight Sam (and the other Sam books)</p> <p>Bear Snores On </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2760522 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 07:32:59 +0000 gilmoregirl 2760522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You've got a lot of great suggestions here, but in the Dr. Seuss vein - my 3 yo gets a huge kick out of Hand Hand Fingers Thumb. It's silly and it has lot of rhymes he loves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2760476 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 19:38:34 +0000 Alba4 2760476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old loves the Knufflebunny series by Mo Willems. He is also obsessed with Richard Scarry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2760024 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:24:12 +0000 bubblegum 2760024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!!

I'll have to check out This is Not My Hat. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759993 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:03:21 +0000 bookwormmama 2759993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: that's my son's favorite part, too! The stare down page is hilarious! If you haven't read "This is Not My Hat" definitely try. It's great and the illustrations do a great job telling the story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759979 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:44:01 +0000 Adira 2759979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bookwormmama: OMG, my kids LOVE I Want My Hat Back! They'll be playing and not paying attention while I read it and as soon as I get to the confrontation page, they both stop what they are doing to yell "You!! You stole my hat!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759973 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:37:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2759973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oliver Jeffers! My favourite is the Great Paper Caper but the 'Once there was a boy' series is also lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759968 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:33:00 +0000 bookwormmama 2759968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 3.5 and here's a couple he requests often:</p> <p>Mustache Baby (there is also a sequel that we haven't read)<br /> Go Away Big Green Monster<br /> Mighty Night Little Green Monster<br /> Piggies<br /> I Want My Hat Back<br /> This is Not My Hat<br /> Not a Box/Not a Stick</p> <p>We also like the Disney Little Golden Books. The older movies are long, but the books on the newer movies aren't too bad. We have been reading the Toy Story ones a lot because that is his current Disney obsession. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759967 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:29:48 +0000 threeplusme 2759967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really like books by Michael Dahl, like little dinos don't bite, little tiger picks up ... all are quick easy reads with a moral. My 7 year old struggling readers can read them to their 4 yr old sister. We borrow ours from the library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759952 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:13:10 +0000 looch 2759952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also by Mo Willems, anything with Elephant and Piggie.</p> <p>My son also loved the Eric Carle Brown Bear and Polar Bear books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759949 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:07:14 +0000 ShootingStar 2759949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition to a bunch that have already been mentioned, DS has really been loving the Pigeon books by Mo Willems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759945 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:03:20 +0000 jhd 2759945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love so many of the books listed above. I would also suggest easy readers, especially if he has favorite characters. Favorites at our house are Daniel Tiger and Biscuit books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759944 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:02:46 +0000 littlebug 2759944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are big Pete the Cat fans in our house. And the Rumble in the Jungle, Commotion in the Ocean...I feel like there's one more in there. Giraffes Can't Dance is fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759943 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:01:02 +0000 bubblegum 2759943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@helloperidot: Hahahaha I totally hear you!! DS always brings both Cat In The Hat books because he loves the way DH acts it out and then has the nerve to ask them both to be read again! lol not happening kid!<br /> @MrsBucky: Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759942 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:55:10 +0000 helloperidot 2759942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: For the last year we've had the routine of reading DD 6 books at bedtime...which was great until she moved up to picture books and 5-minute stories. Now she'll bring me "Green Ham" and Horton and Cat in the Hat and I'm just like umm...those books are already sleeping. ;) I can handle one, maybe two, but more than that and I need a huge glass of water to read them all. And to start our bedtime routine an extra hour earlier! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759941 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:54:13 +0000 MrsBucky 2759941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Steam train dream train 1,2,3 might be good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759940 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:50:24 +0000 helloperidot 2759940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think it's called "Mighty Mighty Construction Site"...came out a couple of months ago. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759938 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:50:05 +0000 bubblegum 2759938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: @Adira: @gingerbebe: Great suggestions! Thanks ladies</p> <p>@helloperidot: hahaha some of them are very long! Like the Cat in The Hat books!! Those books never end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759933 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:43:12 +0000 Adira 2759933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@helloperidot: What! I didn't know there was a daytime version of Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site!! Ordering it from Amazon right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759932 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:40:50 +0000 helloperidot 2759932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a daytime version of Construction Site that we really like. Also How to Train a Train and How to Track a Truck are fun. My DD loves the Little Green Peas books (LMNO Peas, 123 Peas, Hap-pea All Year, etc.).</p> <p>Also, I'm lol-ing a little bit because Dr. Seuss books seem sooooo long to me, but my kid loves them so what can you do? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759931 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:38:34 +0000 gingerbebe 2759931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid turns 3 in September. His favorites are the Usborne word books, Curious George, any books that take nursery rhyme songs he knows into book form (Itsy Bitsy, Twinkle Twinkle, Puff the Magic Dragon, etc). He can sing and visualize what he's singing and he loves it. Sandra Boynton books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759929 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:36:25 +0000 Adira 2759929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mother Bruce! Gorgeous art-work to this book and a funny story.</p> <p>Agree with Little Blue Truck books. Also Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site. Also, at this age mine liked the Little Golden Books with Thomas or Paw Patrol stories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759927 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:34:18 +0000 SweetiePie 2759927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious George board books are perfect. Not the big hard covers or soft covers. The small thick board books. Simple easy to understand and he enjoys the stories. (3 in sept). </p> <p>You might already have these but the Little Blue Truck books are great. Llama Llama books. Sandra Boynton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-3-yo#post-2759925 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:31:15 +0000 bubblegum 2759925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies! So we try to read to DS as much as possible and are looking for some new reading material. Here's background on him. DS just turned 3 and has a speech disorder. He enjoys simple books with great pictures. Nothing too long!</p> <p>Some of his favorites are "The Way I Feel" and pretty much any Dr. Seuss book. </p> <p>Any suggestions? </p>
