A Book and a Toy That Fit Together Perfectly

It’s so much fun to expand on books, especially books that are read again and again.

All of the books on this list are ones that we consider must have’s. They either had (or still have) a place in our home library or were checked out from our actual library many times.

These book and toy pairs are perfect for preschool ages (but could also work for kids a little older).
