Best books for 1-year-olds
Toddlers at this age are often getting better at using their hands, so they’ll love board books with flaps and trying to turn the pages.
They love listening to you, so why not try out some silly animal noises and books with fun rhymes?
Here are some of our favourite books for sharing with 1-year-olds.
