Best Children’s Picture Books On Kindle
The Kindle e-reader from Amazon changed the way people read, as it no longer became necessary to carry around heavy, cumbersome volumes when you wanted to read a few pages. There’s even a special Kindle e-reader just for younglings, which brings us to the Top 10 best picture books on Kindle.
This fantastic list features a variety of beautifully-illustrated books designed to help your kiddies dive into the wonderful world of reading. From stories about the day the crayons quit to books that “fly” to stories about dragons who love tacos, your little ‘un will not be lost for picture book fun. There’s even a tale about a cool cat named Pete and his “groovy buttons.”
Consider investing in a kid-friendly Kindle so your child can read on long car rides while waiting for the doctor and dentist, and any other time distraction and stimulation are required. A Kindle is a much better toy than the television, and will help shape your child’s imagination and interest in literature. Have fun!

Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin comes in next on the list.
A favorite of mine, I had no idea dragons loved tacos SO much until I read this book.
They love all kinds of delicious tacos, like chicken tacos, beef taco, BIG tacos, and tiny tacos.
They even love tacos with salsa, but salsa is bad for dragons.
Fiery, funny must-read.

Llama Llama has a new friend—Nelly Gnu, but when Nelly and her mom come over, it is nothing but sharing drama for little Llama.
He does not, will not, want to share his precious Fuzzy Llama toys with his Gnu pal.

Centered on a little girl with a big imagination, this book is about creating “the most magnificent thing.”
She sets out to make this “thing” with her pup assistant, but feels discouraged when the most magnificent thing turns into a magnificent flop.
This book is about persevering through life’s downfalls.

Stick and Stone by Beth Ferry holds its own as 8th of the top 10 kids’ Kindle picture books this year.
Once upon a time… I have always wanted to write that, but it only half applies to this story.
You see, in the beginning, Stick and Stone were separate, alone, and lonesome.
However, when Stick rescues Stone from a bad situation, they become the best, albeit most unlikely, of friends.
