An interactive celebration of toddlers' curiosity and independence with playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures. Written and designed with the pediatric experts at Mayo Clinic.

Let's Explore! is a delightful journey through the world of toddler discovery, designed for children ages 12 to 18 months. Co-written by Mayo Clinic pediatrician Dr. Angela Mattke, this board book is designed to support both toddlers and their grownups through relatable scenes and gentle guidance.

Whether it's climbing onto a chair at the doctor's office, pointing to body parts, or choosing a sticker for being brave, each page encourages exploration, confidence, and connection. With simple language and colorful illustrations, Let's Explore! helps caregivers recognize and celebrate key developmental milestones in a toddler's everyday world.

  • Milestones featured in the book include:
  • Climbing onto furniture
  • Pointing to objects
  • Recognizing names of familiar body parts
  • Exploring objects in different ways (shaking, banging, throwing, dropping)
  • Pushing and pulling objects using hands
  • Using simple words such as "uh-oh" and "mama"

Expert insights gently guide parents while celebrating each child's unique pace of growth.

Backed by trusted Mayo Clinic expertise, the Healthy Milestones series combines playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures to support early learning and connection. These interactive board books turn everyday moments into opportunities for exploration, language, movement, and bonding between little ones and their grownups.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education and Mayo Clinic.
