Best Books for 3 Year Olds
Great Books For 3 Year Olds.
Reading with a 3 year old is great. They have gone past the stage of books with one or two sentences and have graduated onto proper storytelling. This means you can choose books that you will both enjoy and you will not mind reading them again and again.
Books open up another world at this age. You can read books about different places, subjects, animals and interests. They are great for communicating with a young child. You can talk about the story and any feelings and emotions that it bought up. Books can help explain different situations. They help widen vocabulary and studies show that young children who are read to at home have a better start at school.
Best of all reading means that parents, carers and grandparents can sit down with a child and enjoy spending quality time together. Make the most of this special age where children are inquisitive and open to learning and reading. Buy or borrow lots of books, don\'t get bored with the same stories over and over again and enjoy reading with a 3 year old. Here are a few suggestions of what I think are the best books for 3 year olds to get you started. Explore what\'s available and choose books that you think both you and the 3 year old will enjoy.
Classic Books For 3 Year Olds
If you\'re looking for books that have stood the test of time or those you remember from your own childhood, here is a selection that you may like.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Big Books)
by Eric Carle
If you haven\'t introduced your 3 year old to The Hungry Caterpillar yet - it\'s not too late.
At age 3, my son loved this book.
We\'re Going on a Bear Hunt: Anniversary Edition of a Modern Classic
by Michael Rosen
We\'re Going on a Bear Hunt is a modern classic. Lots of use of repetitive language and rhythm to help improve vocabulary and language.
It\'s a great book to act out as you read it, moving through the long grass, the deep cold river and squelching through the swamp. And then you can do the actions faster when you\'re running away from the bear at the end.
Harold and the Purple Crayon 50th Anniversary Edition (Purple Crayon Books)
by Crockett Johnson
\"One night, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.\" So begins this gentle story that shows just how far your imagination can take you. Armed only with an oversized purple crayon, young Harold draws himself a landscape full of beauty and excitement.
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Book & CD (Book and CD)
by Dr. Seuss
There\'s lots of classic Dr Seuss books that you can read to 3 year old children and One Fish, Two Fish etc is just one of them.
The book features lots of ridiculous rhymes to ignite a child\'s imagination! The rhymes also explore simple concepts such as color, numbers and opposites,
Where the Wild Things Are
by Maurice Sendak
Max gets sent to bed without anything to eat for misbehaving. But once in his room, he travels to the imaginary land of the Wild Things, where he meets a crowd of wild beasts and is crowned as their King.
The color illustrations are beautiful and the story has already been enjoyed by many children before.
Interactive Books for 3 Year Olds
There are lots of books available where 3 year olds can interact with the book and the story. Ideas include lift the flap books, puppet books and books where you can make decisions. My son used to love these types of books when he was three and they are great fun for adults to read and join in with too.
You\'re Not So Scary, Sid! (Puppet Pop Ups)
by Sam Lloyd
This tells the story of Sid, who\'s a monster but not a very scary one!
The adult can use the puppet in the front of the book to tell a story and then the child can have a go too.
Lots of fun!
You Choose!
by Pippa Goodhart
You Choose lets the child decide about what they would choose to be, have or do on each page.
From the numerous options available on the page you can choose where to live, where to sleep, who to have as your friends or what games you would play.
This was a favorite with my 3 year old son and the book is a great starting point for lots of discussions too.
Where\'s Spot?
by Eric Hill
Lift the flap books are very popular with 3 year olds and you can\'t go wrong with the classic hide and seek tale of Where\'s Spot.
What\'s in the Witch\'s Kitchen?
by Nick Sharratt
This is a lift the flap book that my son absolutely loved. It was his favorite book for ages. It\'s a lift the flap book with a difference. Each flap has the option of opening a different item in the witch\'s kitchen to discover either a yummy or yucky thing.
The only thing I would warn it does contain some toilet humor so if that\'s not your thing - avoid. But if that doesn\'t bother you I would highy recommend.
Rigby Literacy: Student Reader Grade 1 Shark In The Park
by RIGBY
A perfect peep hole book for 3 year olds. Timothy Pope looks through is telescope and keeps seeing a shark in the park which you see through the hole peeping through to the next page. But when you look through the onto the next page you see it wasn\'t a shark after all.
See the video below for a reading of the book. Both my boys love it (my elder boy and my 18 month old) and shout out \"There\'s a shark in the park\" along with me as I\'m reading it.
Julia Donaldson Books
Julia Donaldson books are brilliant for 3 year olds. The books are really well illustrated. The rhymes are clever and lovely to read. I don\'t get tired of reading her books to my little boy over and over again. Our favorites are The Gruffalo and Room on a Broom.
Room on the Broom
by Julia Donaldson
The witch and her cat are flying on the broom. But they lose her hat, the bow from her hair and then her wand. Luckily some helpful animals find and return the items but they also want a ride on the broom. But is there room for all of them? And can they save the witch from a hungry dragon?
The Gruffalo
by Julia Donaldson
A mouse is taking a stroll through the deep, dark wood when along comes a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. The mouse is good enough to eat but smart enough to know this, so he invents . . . the gruffalo! As Mouse explains, the gruffalo is a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, and knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose. But Mouse has no worry to show. After all, there\'s no such thing as a gruffalo. . . .
The Snail and the Whale
by Julia Donaldson
When a tiny snail meets a humpback whale, the two travel together to far-off lands. It\'s a dream come true for the snail, who has never left home before. But when the whale swims too close to shore, will the snail be able to save her new friend?

Dinosaur Books for 3 Year Olds
There are some great dinosaur books perfect for preschoolers. Even if your little one isn\'t dinosaur mad, they will still love some of the books below.
How Do Dinosaurs Play with Their Friends?
by Jane Yolen
This is one of an excellent series of books by Jane Yolen. Others include How Do Dinosaurs Clean their Rooms? and How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?
In this book we find out how do dinosaurs play with their friends? What if a dinosaur\'s friends come to play? Does he mope, does he pout if he can\'t get his way? Does he hide all his dump trucks, refusing to share? Does he throw his friends\' coloring books up in the air? This book teaches very young children how to play nicely with their friends and shows them how to share.
How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?
by Jane Yolen
Another in the series by Jane Yolen.
\"How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about? Does a dinosaur stomp his feet on the floor and shout: \'I want to hear one book more!\'? DOES A DINOSAUR ROAR?\" Most certainly not. Dinosaurs give their mommies and daddies big hugs and kisses, tuck their tales in, and whisper \"Good night!\"
Dinosaurumpus!
by Tony Mitton
\"Shake, shake, shudder . . . near the sludgy old swamp. The dinosaurs are coming. Get ready to romp.\"
This is a really fun book about dinosaurs who come to the swamp for a really fun party.The rhyming is brilliant. It\'s quite catchy so your little ones can read along with you after they\'ve heard it a few times. They can also add their own wiggles and shakes as they listen!

The Going-To-Bed Book
by Sandra Boynton
This book will help encourage reluctant 3 year olds to go to bed. It\'s silliness will real appeal to this age group. In The Going to Bed Book, the animals watch the sun go down and then prepare for bed. They take a bath (\"in one big tub\"), find pajamas, brush their teeth, do exercises up on deck (imagine an elephant jumping rope, a moose lifting weights, and a pig doing handstands), and finally say good night.
Goodnight Moon Big Book
by Margaret Wise Brown
A classic book perfect for bedtime, with lovely poetry and calming illustrations.
In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. \"Goodnight room, goodnight moon.\" And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room-to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one-he says goodnight.
Good Night, Gorilla
by Peggy Rathmann
It\'s a story about a gorilla who isn\'t ready for bed yet so lets himself out of his cage when he is meant to be asleep and follows the zoo keeper on his rounds of the zoo. But the gorilla lets all the animals out! This is well illustrated and will make a great bedtime story. Good fun.

Learning Books for 3 Year Olds
Many 3 year olds love books which teach them about numbers, letters, colors and other concepts.
My son used to love doing activity books at this age. It\'s important not to push them to do activity books and read learning books that they don\'t enjoy. This will just build up a reluctance to books and it\'s important at this age they learn to love books and reading.
As well as activity books there are lots of books that teach children about the outside world and more.
