Just because you have a baby doesn't mean you have to read about fluffy bunnies and anthropomorphic vehicles all day long! If you love fine art, going to music concerts, or gourmet food, you can share those hobbies with the littlest readers in your home. There are many great books out there about these topics that were once thought of as unfriendly to kids, especially toddlers.

Here are 10 board book titles to check out and read with your hip little ones.
