Wordless picture books for toddlers

Sharing wordless picture books with your child is a fantastic way to develop essential literacy skills, such as vocabulary, comprehension, and an understanding of story structure.

Since these books have no words, readers must pay close attention to the illustrations and use context clues to follow the plot and determine how the characters feel. 

When you share a wordless book with a child, you can “read” it differently each time, encouraging your child to use their imagination to interpret the story in different ways.
