Letter N Books

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 N Book, Jane Belk Moncure
Nn, Kelly Doudna

Top picks:
The Gift of Nothing, Patrick McDonnell
Not Quite Narwhal, Jessie Sima, Not a lot of Ns in this book, but my toddler just loved it

No Nap, Eve Bunting
The Perfect Nest, Catherine Friend
Nini Here and There, Anita Lobel, Our favorite of the week!

In November, Cynthia Rylant
Ninja, Arree Chung, My toddler wasn't into this, but I thought it was great.

Someday Narwhal, Lisa Mantchev


What I don't recommend:
The Three Ninja Pigs, Corey Rosen Schwartz, A very fun and clever book, but not many "n" sounds
Noisy Nora, Rosemary Wells, We love Wells' books, but this didn't have many "n" sounds, and also called the main character, Nora, "dumb" which I didn't like.

Ninja Bunny, Jennifer Gray Olson, A cute book, and we do love bunnies, but not many "n" sounds.

What I couldn't find (but would look for in the future):
A Nest is Noisy, Aston
Night Tree, Eve Bunting
The Name Jar, Choi
Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs, DePaola
Nighttime Ninja, DeCosta
My New York, Jakobson
The Nutcracker, Jeffers
The Numberlys, Joyce
No, No Titus, Masurel
Just a Nap, Mayer
The Nose Book, Perkins
Hello Ninja, Wilson
The Napping House, Wood
