With the upcoming release of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie comes a whole new line of toys and books for kids -and if you have a son, you’re already being asked for them! What’s different about this release is the movie isn’t expected to be rated for young viewers. That means we need to be careful which TMNT products we allow our littlest ones to have.
The following is a list of fifteen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Books for Preschoolers and up. Much of them are recommended for age three to seven, with a select few being recommended for babies. (Yes, they are even making Ninja Turtles products for babies now!) There are books for early readers and those who prefer interactive options like their own mask, magnets, music and sound, stickers, glow in the dark pages, puzzles, and games. They’re great for encouraging your child to read!

What is your favorite Ninja Turtles Books for Preschoolers?
My girls love this show. I have strangely never looked for Ninja Turtle Books. We have a play set and numerous toys that are TMNT. In fact they are a bit crazy for them right now. They even draw them all the time. I am going to check a few of these out. My girls are older so it would be great to find a book aimed at an older child and established reader that would keep them reading and engaged this summer.
My nephews are HUGE TMNT fans! I will have to get some of these for our next visit!
What fun! My son is a little old for these books, but he can’t wait for the TMNT movie coming out this summer
I remember that my cousins LOVED TMNJ when we were kids, I had no idea they had made such a come back until recently. (<– mom of girls, can you tell?!)
Our 4 year old son has started to see the TMNT promos for the movie. These would be great books to introduce him to the characters!
