Also, don’t forget you can always reserve a few of these through your local library!

I know I’ve checked out a few books at the library and ended up buying them because my kids loved them so much!

It’s a great way to expose your baby to more books for free!

Also, check to see if your library does book sales– we’ve gotten a few children books for .25 each and the proceeds support the library! Win, win!

Amazon will also have book deals, usually around Prime Day in July and Black Friday week in November, as well as some other random times during the year,

Keep an eye out for all those great book deals to save money to help make a big collection of books!

What are your favorite first baby books and children books?

Spread the love
