Books You Need for Adorably Styled Kids' Bookshelves

Here at The Everymom, we looove a gorgeous-yet-functional nursery or playroom. We feature a lot of kids’ spaces in home tours on our site, and nearly every one of these articles includes a perfectly-styled bookshelf adorned with an array of great children’s books. Many moms love including a few classics (and maybe their personal favorites) like Madeline, The Giving Tree, and Goodnight Moon, among others, in their little ones’ rooms. Others line shelves with newer books (and soon to be classics) including She Persisted, Your Baby’s First Word Will Be DADA, and This Moose Belongs to Me.

Though these books are, obviously, meant to be read and help mold little hearts and minds, there’s also something special about the way their covers add an adorable design element to a baby’s nursery or kid’s bedroom. If you’re looking to create pretty bookshelves in your child’s space, we’ve rounded up photos of the most popular themed shelves — from rainbow and boho to classic and woodland — and provided all the books you’ll need to complete the look.
