Not Now, Cow by Tammi Sauer
This product was recommended by Lynda Le from Polish Perfect
This is one of my top picks for books that 3-year olds will love. This is perfect for preschoolers. It’s a funny book where farm animals celebrate each season, yet a clueless cow dresses in the wrong outfits each time! The drawings are amazing. The cow and friends are cute, and my 3-year old kid (actually each of them who tried this book) enjoyed flipping the pages to see the illustrations. Not Now Cow’s story is light and simple and is a silly way of introducing seasons to our kids.
In My Heart by Jo Witec
This product was recommended by Stefanie Juliano from Stefanie Juliano Therapy, LLC
Great book on early emotional intelligence. Explores a full range of emotions at an age appropriate level. Empowering and whimsical. Talks about ‘some days’ to let the young person know that feelings are fleeting and will not last long-which is great when experiencing feelings like scared, jealous, or sad.

My Very First Tea Party by Michal Sparks
This product was recommended by Amy Davis from My Cat Needs This
One of the many reasons this book is the best book for 3 year old girls is that it promotes being kind to others. The main characters are young girls who are hosting their first tea party, but they are also very kind to one another. They are always sharing, even if it’s something as simple as a piece of cake. Another reason this book has been chosen as one of the best books for 3 year old girls is that there are words on every page. The words provide an opportunity for children to learn new vocabulary before they can read on their own.

This product was recommended by Alex Wan from Vinpit
After a tiresome day at school or at home playing with colleagues, kids need to rest in order to rejuvenate their energy in preparation for the next day. If Animals Kissed Good Night is a great fictional book that takes children to an imaginative world of beauty parked with charming scenery. I recommend this book to parents looking for books for their toddlers since it features fascinating pictures that any kid would love to read before they catch sleep at night. Besides, this book creates a platform for kids to associate and appreciate what nature offers.
Girls Can Do Anything! by Carly Hart
This product was recommended by Jennie Jordan from GinGin and Roo
As a mum of two girls it’s important to me that their view of the world and what they can achieve is not limited by perceived gender roles. This is a great book to read with small children. It’s colourful, well-written and is simply brilliant in reinforcing the message that girls can do anything!
Brown like Dosas, Samosas and Sticky Chikki by Rebecca Manari
This product was recommended by Smriti Tuteja from Yogic-Experience
This is an amazing book that uses magical elements to talk about complex issues such as racism and colorism. It emphasizes the importance of being comfortable in one’s skin and is a great dose of confidence and self-acceptance for little girls. Exposure to modern media and stereotypical toys can drive children to believe in beauty standards set by society. This book is like a whiff of fresh air. It talks about how all skin tones are gorgeous and one shouldn’t try to fit in the societal mold of beauty. It also offers a valuable lesson to not judge or bully others based on their physical appearance.

Beyond the diversity and inclusiveness in the illustrations, the underlying message is an easy one for a 3 year old to understand and really resonated with me as a mother. I love the use of words of affirmation and message of self-worth.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr
This product was recommended by Nikki Webster from Brit on the Move
This is a nice little story. The story is super silly which is why any toddler or pre-schooler will love it. It is about a tiger that comes over to visit but eats and drinks everything in the house. When the dad gets home from work there was nothing for dinner. So he suggests going out to a cafe for dinner. It’s really well written, in real language vs. baby gibberish and it will capture the imagination of any 3-year-old girl.
