The best Children's Sense & Sensation Books: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This is reminiscent of the Pantone Colors children's book. Each page is dedicated to a different color with 30ish different shades, and then an animal or toy illustration using some of them. It's a very colorful book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1419701800/

It was a hand-me-down from my wife's friend. A quick search on Amazon and I believe this is it, Fuzzy Bee. It's AWESOME! My daughter loves it.

You know those books for little kids you read in kindy? "Cows go Moo! Ducks go Quack!" That's the level we're at with the Mob and the Cobras. At least four-year olds have an excuse.

You’re doing a great job! If you’re looking for another resource, lots of parents and daycares swear by the book “Teeth are Not For Biting” to help with this phase.

Boutta flex on my 2yr old (26 months) He can give you names and corresponding animal sounds for a whole farm, forest, or ocean!

This Eric Carle book is a big inspiration behind his curiosity to learn more about animals

So many great suggestions here and almost all of our faves listed.

My absolute favorite baby book is the Pantone Colors Baby Board Book

It’s beautiful and bubs love looking at the colors. We use it for tummy time every day.

I’d also suggest soft bathtime books. We have the Rainbow Fish and Pigeon Needs a Bath and they’re both really cute and unique.

Reading!

I’d do a mix of:
simple board books focused on vocabulary like these where each page just has 1 or 2 words and you say “can you say____” and repeat it a few times.

Then I’d also pick a few SHORT books that have some sentences and those are just for fun. My kid loved Mr. Brown Can Moo and Brown Bear, Brown Bear. They won’t understand many if the words in those at that age, but it gets them used to hearing full sentences.

you can either get some from local market or order from amazon.

I brought this set of 10 small board books (https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/9387779262) but you can go for any other publisher.

you may also get a large size board book (something like https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B07FDPF4G1). I brought one from local ambani mart and it was way cheaper.

Why would China want to ban a book with so many 5 star reviews?

Don’t forget the sequel tankie.

[this 100 first animals book!)(https://www.amazon.com/First-100-Animals-Roger-Priddy/dp/0312510799/ref=asc_df_0312510799/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312041961788&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10954783874389696793&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=...)

the other ones from this line are also amazing, my kid still adores these at 23 months old. There's so many things in the books that we don't really encounter in other books or day to day life that she's been able to see

I just got a small box of books for my boy. It is just about $20 but has 10 small books. ABCs, numbers, animals, etc. He is only 16 months but loves them!

We mostly do books as part of a sleeping routine between bedtime and naps. We do board books, typically ones with bright colors and minimal words per page. We also have books that we keep in the living room that have a lot of pictures, something like this where he points at the animal and then I say what animal it is. I'm not sure what your reading (or attempts at reading) look like, but you can try scaling it back and seeing if that is helpful.

This book for my son! I have a different one by the same Author that he really, really loves, so I think he'll be quite happy to have another one with new pictures to look at!

Do you just say no? We try to follow it up by ignoring him.

Example one - Bedtime. I'm reading him a story and for some reason he felt the need to pinch my cheek really hard. I immediately say "OUCH! That HURT!" (playing up my reaction a bit and really emoting through my face) then plop him on the floor and do the thousand yard stare at some random corner of the room, ignoring him but keeping him in my peripheral vision. About a minute later I put him back in my lap, gave him his paci, and resumed reading the book we had been in the middle of.

Example two - Getting ready to leave the house this morning. I had him on my lap as I put his shoes on and he was flopping around as toddlers do. I don't think he's really gotten the idea that biting clothes is bad too, so I suddenly feel him bite my arm through my sweater's sleeve. I do genuinely think he did it as a random teething thing and not to hurt me, but I played up my reaction again as if he had gotten my arm harder than he really did. "[FULL NAME], NO BITING! Biting hurts!" He cried, I resumed putting on his socks and shoes, by the time I was done with that he was mostly over being upset and I said in an upbeat tone "Are you ready to go to day care?!? You LOVE day care!" to redirect him to the usual going out the door routine.

We also got the book "Teeth Are Not For Biting" and have been reading that a lot. At day care his teacher is magic and got him to do kisses instead of biting, so now she says "Ah-ah, [name], no biting. Do kisses!" then when he gives a kiss she says "Good job [name]! Good kiss!" so he's getting positive attention for good behavior.

Jeseus. Angry_Buddha called me retarded. He also said I was still in middle school (even though I'm in high school), said I should read this picture book, said I'm an alternate account, and said I love creating anger.

Oh, he also said (and I quote): "There you go failing reading comprehension again. Hope summer school helps! We're all rooting for you!"

How old is that guy?

Probably this, given your intellect and maturity level: No Bites!

We have several cloth books like this one that have survived over a decade and 5 kids. I highly recommend cloth books!

You might try reading him Teeth are Not for Biting or Little Dinos Don't Bite.

Might try reading Teeth Are Not for Biting and/or Little Dinos Don't Bite.

Maybe try reading him a book like Teeth Are Not for Biting or Little Dinos Don't Bite? Hope this phase passes soon!

oh no! There are several books to help with things like this, like Teeth are Not For Biting and others http://www.amazon.com/Teeth-Biting-Board-Behavior-Series/dp/1575421283

It's just like social story.

This is one of our favorite books. My son usually giggles at the animal pictures. It's the first book he really ever responded to.

Also, any real basic board book that's easy to point out things. He loves to grab the pages, too.

I found it on Amazon, apparently the cover is now yellow!

http://www.amazon.com/Pat-Cat-Bunny-Touch---Feel/dp/0307120015/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1434925789&sr=1-1&keywords=pat+the+cat

Here's part of a review "One, of course, must pat the cat. Then you can extract money from the ATM and later put it into daddy's wallet. You can imitate mommy making a list, scratch and sniff the gingersnaps, help Neddy and Martha see-saw and play peek-a-boo, and squeeze the little bear before going to bed."

The book "Teeth are not for biting" is great: http://www.amazon.ca/Teeth-are-Biting-Elizabeth-Verdick/dp/1575421283

It's an easy-to-follow story for toddlers, and teaches them what teeth SHOULD be used for. We read it a lot when our toddler was in his biting phase (and it usually is just a phase). For a two year old, this is normal behaviour, and she's probably looking for attention, or is unable to use the words she needs. I second the notion to give attention to the person being bitten, and encourage her to model gentle behaviour. I would tell my son, "show me a nice hug" and then make a huge fuss when he was gentle. Once she sees that she is not getting extra attention for the biting, the behaviour might stop.

Oh, and don't bite your kid back…it's SO tempting, but it only models behaviour that you are trying to stop. By biting them back, you're showing them that biting IS an appropriate reaction. Two year olds don't really understand empathy, so they won't quite understand that what they are feeling and what you are feeling are the same thing. Definitely tell them that biting hurts, but don't hurt them in return.
