Just because a child is too young too read doesn’t mean that they don’t still enjoy looking at books. Sharing books with your baby is a great way to entertain them and stimulate their rapidly developing brain. Reading to them helps encourage their speech and language development, and of course it’s a great way to spend time together. Board books are especially wonderful, because they can play with them (and chew on them), and you don’t have to worry about pages getting torn. You can hold them in your lap while you talk about and point out the different things in the book, but you can also let them look at board books while sitting in a high chair or during tummy time on the floor. Books with bright, colorful pictures of real life objects, animals, and people are always a great choice, as well as “touch and feel” books that have a variety of textures for their little hands (and sometimes mouths!) to enjoy.
I’ve put together a list of my top ten favorite books that my kids have really enjoyed over the years, and that your little one is sure to love as well!
