The Best Book Sets for Toddlers That Make Great Gifts

Dec 02, 2024

Books are the best gifts to wrap up for your littlest loved ones, because it’s never too soon to promote their literacy and pre-reading skills. After all, toddlers are sponges, and the read-aloud time they're exposed to now is crucial for their future reading success!

However, sometimes it can take a while to pick the perfect collection of books for a growing reader.  You may be left with questions like which books will go together and what the best way to get a variety of books from one series is.

That's why you'll love these thoughtfully curated sets of books for toddlers — they take the work of finding the right mix of books off your to-do list. Stock up on convenient mixed collections, boxed sets, and series book packs for toddlers that are perfect for every occasion. 

For instance, the Let's Sing Board Books Value Pack is just right for bedtime, story time, or any time! Filled with eye-catching illustrations, built in finger puppets, and playful song lyrics, this collection is sure to become a favorite as your child builds their sensory and beginning reading skills. 

You can also never go wrong with classics titles, especially as families are building out their children's bookshelves. Raise a Reader Set: Fantastic Animal Board Books is full of beloved favorites from The Wonkey Donkey to Giraffes Can't Dance. 

For this age, it's also great to give books that inspire curiosity and learning through play – even just through a single title! Wrap up the Scholastic Early Learners: My Busy Animal Book, and kids will meet wild animals through a format that's full of fun touches (think textured tabs that snap and squeak) to keep your child engaged!
