In our books for 2-year-olds, you can add:

• Child’s name: appearing throughout the story, in the illustrations and often on the front cover too!
• Child’s character: we’ve designed a set of adorable characters to choose from for boys and girls. Choose from a selection of natural hair and skin tone options.
• Your free personalised dedication message: use our pre-written dedication or pen something all your own for your 2-year-old to read and re-read for years to come.

And there’s more! In The Little Boy Or Girl Who Lost Their Name, the entire story is structured around the letters of the child’s name (in their quest to find it again). In Me and My Big Brother / My Big Sister, you can also add the name and character of a second sibling, and both children appear together on the cover and in tender moments throughout the story. Have a browse through our bookshelf to see all the surprising ways we use personalisation to make children the stars of their stories.

Their language skills are developing quickly at this age, so any books that are fun to read out loud together are also a great opportunity to learn new words. Rhyming books are ideal, as the repetition makes the words easier to remember (and join in). Almost all the books on this page are written in rhyme for this very reason.

We don’t have any board books, but almost all of our story books for 2-year-olds come in a square format (23 x 23 cm) that’s perfect for little hands! Every book is available in softcover or super-sturdy hardcover, with thick, hard-wearing paper that’s beautifully toddler-proof.
