Inside: These interactive books for kids are perfect for high-energy kids because they get your child to move their body. (And you’ll love them too!) Add these titles to your collection of the best picture books<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t get my 2-year-old to sit still long enough for me to clip a fingernail<\/em>—let alone long enough to listen to a whole picture book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, several times a day she brings a book to me and asks me to read it to her. And this is what happens, every<\/strong> time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. I pull her onto my lap and start reading, but by a couple pages in, she can’t contain her wiggles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Another page, and she’s accidentally clocked me in the nose or my mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Halfway through the book, she squirms out of my lap to perform what I assume must be a gymnastics routine she invented during the hours of 8:00 pm and 11:00 pm when she should be sleeping but clearly is not. Or it could be Toddler Parkour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    At that point, I probably should just close the book and move on. But there’s something in my brain that can’t move on until we get through the whole<\/strong> book—even if I have to finish it by reading double-time through gritted teeth with nobody listening but me.<\/p>\n\n\n
