You may want to speak to your little one in French, either because you're are in a mixed relationship with a French-speaking partner, or simply because you love French language and you want your child to be exposed to it! Here are some great French books for babies that I love reading with my daughter. There are so many talented new authors and beautiful books I haven't read yet, I'm sticking to books from newborn to toddler for now. So here are my personal recommendations for fun, animated, beautiful, sound or touch and feel picture books and for classic heroes that every French child knows!
