Stop by your public library and ask the children's librarian to find you some grabbers. You want something with only a line or two of text on each page at this age. It should have large colorful pictures.
Save the longer books for later when the attention span gets longer.
Get a free library card and borrow a big stack of books each week. Soon you'll have a better feel for what suits your child. Congratulations on being a parent who reads to your child. It will pay off in the long run.
Here's a website with age appropriate titles:

*Great pictures – The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
*Pleasing rhythm to the words – Madeline by Ludwick Bemelmans

The Pigeon books by Mo Willems are great! The first one is "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" which is a Caldecott Honor Book.

There are two board books that might be better for a 10-month-old, and those are "The Pigeon Loves Things That Go!" and "The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too!"

The other two picture books are "The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!" and "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!"

Any of the Dr Seuss books, Goodnight Moon, Cordurory, any/all Critter books~and there are lots more but these are the only ones I can remember right now. And I imagine that there are lots more now since it has been about 15 years since I read those books to my daughters.

King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Don & Audrey Wood was a favorite of my kids, as were their other books, The Napping House and Piggies.

The illustrations are fabulous, and there's enough repetition and easily-identifiable situations to keep a baby interested.

Hi! When I was younger I used to get read fairytales and that sort of stuff, like Snow White, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Puss In Boots etc. I really liked books like Mr McGee And The Biting Flea that sort of stuff. I don't know if this helps but good luck in finding a book. :)

i suggest you do popups, lift-the-flaps, touch and feel, bath books, cloth books, and most importantly sound books. children respond much better to the books that are interactive.

good titles are the cliche ones, meaning sesame street, goodnight moon books, veveteen rabbit. anything with animals, alphabet and the like.

and don't worry too much, they all get bored easily.
