Just another "letter of the week" book list! I couldn't find anything
else that quite fit what I was looking for so I'm saving my lists and
observations for use in the future. This is compiled from several sites
on the internet and my own browsing at the library. Tops picks are based
on the interest of a 2.5 year old.
The regulars:
My O Book, Jane Belk Moncure
Oo, Kelly Doudna
Top picks:
Ollie, Dunrea, short and simple read.
Oh!, Henkes, You can teach your toddler to recognize and read each "oh"!
Owen, Henkes,
Thank You, Octopus, Farrell, This book is goofy, and was a huge hit.
Otis, Long
The Cow That Went Oink, Most, If you like finding letters on the page there are lots of "o"s to do that with in this book!
Olivia, Falconer, The story was bland, but the sound repetition was there.
In! Over! and On! the Farm, Long, A big hit.
Little Oink, Rosenthal, These books (Little Hoot, also) are hit and miss with the toddler here, but a fun read.
Longer books for older children:
Also an Octopus, We got through this book, but the concepts were a little too advanced for my toddler.
One Odd Day, Fisher and Sneed, This is a neat math book about odd and even numbers!
What I don't recommend:
Ox-Cart Man, Hall An interesting book, but it was long for younger children and didn't have a lot of "o" sounds.
The Odd One Out, Teckentrup We loved this book for the puzzles. It's not helpful for learning the "o" sound though.
One, Otoshi, This may go over better with older children. Sometimes it felt hard to separate the numbers, sounds, and colors in this book in a way that a toddler could understand. I think it's best purposes could be in other lessons, like colors, numbers, bullying.
An Octopus is Amazing, Lauber, A non-fiction book about octopuses. With my toddler, this type of read doesn't reinforce the sound because the words octopus just isn't repeated enough. I could see other children making the association, though.
What I couldn't find (but would look for in the future):
Over in the Ocean, Berkes
Oscar the Otter, Benchley
Octopus Opposites, Blackstone
I Have an Olive Tree, Bunting
Old MacDonald Had A Farm, Dean
How To Hide an Octopus, Heller
Oliver, Hoff
Owl at Home, Lobel
My Very Own Octopus, Most
Olivia Owl Finds a Friend, Pledger
Ok Book, Rosenthal
Beautiful Oops, Saltzberg
Oliver, Sif
Octopus Alone, Srinivasan
Oops, Timmers
An Octopus Followed Me Home, Yaccarino
