books for preschool age kids

This collection is recommended for older toddlers who aren't quite school-age but are curious, excited about the world, and ready to get more from their books! We've focused more on activity and interactive books rather than story books to minimize potential challenges with language barriers.

Wipe-clean books
  • Dry erase books, $7.99 (marker included)
  • These books are so great for kids who are ready to start exploring the world of writing and drawing! They are sturdy and can handle multiple cleanings - and if the marker provided is lost or smashed or runs out, it can be replaced with any regular dry erase marker.
  • We have about 30 wipe-clean books in all! I would particularly recommend books that focus on puzzles, activities, numbers, and basic letters so that the language barrier isn't an issue.

Big Book of Things to Spot
  • Paperback, $12.99
  • Lots of big books! This one is a great way to engage young kids and help them problem solve. Each page shows a scene, and along the edges of the pages, you see objects to find within the scene - the greenhouse page, for example, includes 8 strawberries, 4 snails, 2 watering cans, among many other objects. What's great, though, is that even without English, kids can participate because they can connect the images with numbers and search from there.
