Love these! I highly recommend Landscapes of the Solar System by Aina bestard as a coffee table book for kids and adults. It's fascinating and beautiful and has cool overlay pages that my kid loves.
I just Googled this and wow! Any book with foldout and translucent pages is an instant hit around here. I also love the sleek cover--would be perfect for people who want kid-friendly books that look a bit more grown up:)
It is bizarre to think of someone else curating your coffee table books. I like your approach much better. I put the Bibliophile book that you gave me on our coffee table and love looking at it.
I love this concept! I'm going to dig out our more gorgeous child-friendly books to display on the coffee table. We have that Maps book and I LOVE it. Another awesome kids map book is Wild Maps for Curious Minds.
Sing a Song of Seasons: A Nature Poem for Every Day of the Year ! Coffee table book size, beautiful illustrations, good for a quick read of the day's poem, or get lost reading several pages of poetry. Teaches kids about poetry, nature, seasons, and navigating the calendar.
The cover is so beautiful! My daughter has recently gotten really into poetry and I just grabbed a whole stack of poetry books from the library (Some from Sarah Miller's amazing poetry lists) but hadn't considered adding a coffee table book. Perfect gift idea--thanks!
Love this list! My kids love these kind of books. They have been great for that stage when my kids were still learning to read independently--they feel "grown up," the pictures are engaging so it doesn't matter if they are reading the words, and it keeps them occupied for a long time.

Should I buy this stupid birds book for Rob?
Haha, yes OR you could wait for Rachel Ignotofsky's What's Inside a Bird's Nest? 😂
These are all STUNNING! I love the idea of coffee table children’s books!
Thanks, Sri! I was linking the books and felt inspired to start refreshing our collection with some new titles...there are SO many!
oooooh! I WANT THEM ALL. What great ideas; thank you!

Absolutely. I think being immersed in a book--in any way--helps kids find the JOY in reading!
