Collection of Favorite Books

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to see first-hand the books, toys, games, and other resources that are a hit with preschoolers. Unfortunately, at the same time, I have also purchased more than my fair share of items that ended up just being a waste of money.

Since Amazon is the go-to place for most moms these days, I have included links to this collection of my favorite books by topic. Every item is something I’ve bought, used, and LOVE. (Remember to check your library and yard sales too! Some like teh Daniel Tiger books came from a Dollar Store)

Prayerfully, you’ll find this to be a valuable resource page when you’re looking for ideas. I’m hoping this saves you time and money from purchasing things that just end up unused and in a future yard sale box.
