French Books for Babies up to 3
We’ve curated a selection of our best French Baby Books, from newborn up to 3+. These books are intended to inspire you to read stories to your children from birth.
These carefully selected books are charming, heartwarming, humorous, and intellectually stimulating, offering an unforgettable visual experience. The proof lies in the response of my 15-year-old daughter, who, upon seeing this selection, exclaimed, ‘Oh, I’d love to read them again.’ These books are like hugs for the soul, transporting us to moments of shared tenderness.
The suggested age range is merely indicative; children will continue to enjoy these books upon revisiting them later. Additionally, in future articles, I will be introducing you to books for the following age group that I’ve read to my children at earlier stages. Therefore, I encourage you not to be swayed solely by these recommendations; after all, reading is an act of freedom.
Many of these books are board books, They have thick, sturdy pages made of cardboard, so little hands can easily turn them — and they survive chewing, drooling, and enthusiastic reading! But not all of them — learning how to handle a paper book without tearing its pages is also an important part of a child’s education. You can guide them through this process and provide support as they learn.
