Best interactive books for babies and toddlers - 9 tried-and-tested collections that get our seal of approval

Collage showing the best interactive books for babies and toddlers.

Storytime can be a great opportunity for some bonding time with your little one - and for the chance to check out the best interactive books for you to enjoy together.

One of the best toys for 6-12 month olds, interactive books offer a range of textures for little hands to explore, flaps to lift or buttons to press to make different sound effects. With bright and engaging illustrations, interactive books promote sensory development and fine motor skills (like stacking and nesting toys do), while cognitive development and critical thinking (which as studies show, are vital for your child's growth) are promoted by your child being encouraged to participate in the story. If you're looking for books for older kids, then check out our picks of the best personalised books for children.
