Eric Carle Picture Books for Babies and Toddlers

Babies and toddlers love board books! Not only are Eric Carle picture books fun, but they are also durable in board book form. Here are some really fun books to read with your littles. They will enjoy the rhyme and rhythm in books, as well as learning to count, food names and learn about colors and days of the week.

Eric Carle Picture Books for Preschoolers and Kinders

Preschoolers and kinders are all about sounds and buttons, as well as learning to read left to right and practice learning to turn pages. Preschoolers can still use board books since the pages are easier to turn. Kinders will enjoy beginning to read their ABCs and follow along their own rhyming book. These are really, really fun.

Eric Carle Picture Books for Elementary Kids

I chose these books for elementary kids because the stories are fun to read and also to make an activity. You can read the moon book and then create a beautiful moon as an art project. You can find my tutorial for it here. Also, you can read the seed book and plant some seeds afterward or read the pancake book and then make some yummy pancakes! They will also enjoy learning about and discussing the parts of the story (character, plot, setting, etc).
