'Jilly and Jett' Bok

We’ve read this one maybe twenty times in two days—the story’s short enough to keep my one-year-old engaged, and the pages have held up to some serious grabbing. It’s quickly become the calm-down book before naps, which I did not expect from a board book.

My toddler actually sits still for the whole story, which never happens, and the pages are sturdy enough that she can flip them herself without tearing anything. It’s become our bedtime go-to this week.

The illustrations are so engaging that my little one actually sits still through the whole story, which never happens. It’s clearly built around early learning, and I’ve noticed her pointing at the characters and trying to repeat sounds after each read.
