Board Books for Toddlers (12–36 months)
The toddler year is when reading turns from parent performance into two-way play. Books get quoted, pointed at, and re-read on demand — the personalized ones win the most-requested slot.
✓The short answer
Toddlers 12–36 months are in the vocabulary explosion. Personalized ABC, Story, and Emotions books outperform generic ones because the words are tied to faces the child already knows.
