Wordless Books for Young Children

Books without words aren't just random pictures... they tell stories, too! Encourage your child to look closely and tell the story as they see it by looking at the pictures on each page. It will help them practice the early literacy skill of talking, and also work in some of that wonderful creativity and imagination as well! *This list was created by Melissa Brown from the Woodneath Branch*
