There is something truly magical about wordless picture books. The images captivate children’s senses, stir up curiosity, and spark imagination. Readers are drawn into countless new adventures because every story is new and unique.

Introduce your children to the wonderful world of wordless picture books by borrowing some of the classics from your local library and reading them aloud. Start with some of these all-time favorites: the Good Dog, Carl book series by Alexandra Day, “Pancakes for Breakfast” by Tomie dePaola, the A Boy, A Dog, and a Frog series by Mercer Mayer, and the Flora book series by Molly Idle.
