When it’s time to introduce a new letter nothing works quite as magically as a quality picture book. When you choose books from our list of letter Q books for preschool you and your child can enjoy quality time learning the shape and sound of q together as you read.
I’ve organized the letter q picture books by different themes to make them super easy for you to pick and choose. You could do one book from each theme, or just pick a singular theme and get those. Or you can read them all. It’s your choice.
Explore the topic of quiet and what it might mean from three very different perspectives with these Quiet Picture Books.
An Egg is Quiet by Dianna Aston. Eggs come in all different shapes and sizes and designs. And until the very end, an egg is quiet. Beautifully illustrated true-to-life eggs in a book filled with interesting adjectives.
The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle. The little cricket is excited to say hi, but it takes a very special someone to finally help him find his voice.
