There are dozens of board books for every subject and occasion, but many of them are created with little regard to whether they have any value to the reader. Good board books for babies and toddlers engage them with captivating images and rhythmic language. Quality books for the youngest readers expand their horizons with new concepts and rich vocabulary. Publishers know grandparents will buy board books with familiar characters, so they churn out a Clifford or Pete the Cat book for every holiday, expecting (and getting) sales without having to provide a quality book for babies and toddlers. It can be hard to sort through the mass of titles to find the few which stand out as Really Good Books. So we’ve done it for you! Here are six Halloween board books for babies and toddlers that will help your grandbaby learn, while providing a pleasant experience for the reader.
