Books for the Letter T
The books featured in this list include these letter T words: toolbox, trashy (tr blend), town, ten, tiny, toes, turtle, truck (tr blend), teapot, turnip, and tooth.
The Toolbox by Anne & Harlow Rockwell is an adorable book about tools. The text and pictures are simple, yet there is some great vocabulary in there. The authors do not just stick to the standard hammer and saw. You’ll find a plane as well as a wrench and pliers. I love how the last picture shows the father’s word work from using all these tools.
Trashy Town by
Ten Tiny Toes by Caroline Jayne Church is a cute book that toddlers and younger preschoolers will enjoy about their body. We have several books either by Caroline Jayne Church or that have been illustrated by her and they have all been winners with my kids. Note that this book may been too “baby-ish” for older preschoolers.
Whenever I can, I like to include books that feature math skills, too. Turtle Splash! by Catherine Falwell is an adorable countdown rhyming book at the pond. Kids will also enjoy finding the hidden animals in the pictures.
Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle is another cute rhyming book about a little blue truck who easily carries all his farm friends. That is, until he gets stuck in the muck. But Little Blue Truck has all his farm friends to give him a push. Great to use with a farm theme and also good for reinforcing animal sounds.
I’m a Little Teapot by Iza Trapani is one of those books that you can SING! It has the original song, but then many more verses as the teapot uses his imagination to travel the world and see different things. My daughters both like this book, but I’ll be honest and say that many times, I’d like to skip just a few of the verses. 😉
The Gigantic Turnip by Aleksei Tolstoy is a Russian folktale that has encourages working together. The story goes that an old man and old woman plant seeds in their garden. The turnip seed they plant grows to be gigantic and when it’s harvest time, the old man is unable to pull it up. We have read SEVERAL versions of this tale and almost each one, including The Gigantic Turnip, has a cute refrain that kids will enjoy reciting with you.
As you could probably guess, The Tooth Book by Dr. Seuss is a rhyming book that’s mostly silly, although there are some facts about teeth included. Kids get to see animals that do and don’t have teeth as well as see things that you should not do with your teeth (although I don’t like that “dumb” is used twice in the book.) You can also expect silly rhymes like Sneeth and Jimbo Jones, but there aren’t too many in this book.
