Reading any sort of interactive books with your kiddo is a big ol’ boon to their brain, but this list will focus on interactive musical books for toddlers. However, if you are keen for other ways that you and your littles can interact with what they’re reading, you should explore soft books for babies and read-alouds for toddlers. But I do think that this mini-genre needs some changes. In particular, I was surprised by how many titles focused on classical, even repeating the same songs or artists. I’d love to see more musical styles included! Finally but importantly, at Book Riot, we do our best to actively promote diversity in books and publishing. This list features very few authors and illustrators of colour because, well, unfortunately, I just couldn’t find very many! I’d love to see that change too as diverse authors could lead to more varieties of music. So there, these are my top 18 picks for interactive music books for toddlers. I hope you enjoy reading and listening.
