Very versatile
Format: Board book
I love all the Byron Barton books! They are simple enough that infants enjoy them and they’re also great for older ages as they can name the images and also so easy to add onto as a teacher.

Great kids book.
Format: Board book
This was one of my favorite books as a kid, and so I had to buy it for my son. It's simple yet entertaining and has good illustrations.

Colorful, durable.
Format: Board book
A favorite for 2 generations of my family now. I love that the board book is the full authors version of the story.

Great book with simple language and colorful illustration
Format: Board book
My 2.5 year old is obsessed with vehicles of all kinds and loves this book. I would, however, like to point out that I think there is a typo- on one of the pages it says lift that beam and it looks like they are lifting/about to install what is clearly a post. Other than that I love the simplicity of the illustrations and text while also being colorful and interesting. My son loves to read it again and again. ... show more

Barton's Books Don't Disappoint!

Byron didn't fact check
Format: Board book
Baby adores this book series. I think it's the nice saturated colors! But the author says "cement" when he means concrete and that's essentially a sin lol

This classic book has been around for a long time
Format: Board book
This was one of my son's favorite books as an infant. (He is now 25.) I bought it to complement a couple of "boy baby" construction-themed outfits for my former coworker's baby shower.
