It always surprises me just how much little ones, even very small babies, love books. Books are for all ages, but here’s what your baby gets out of them…
That whole open-shut-open-shut issue is like baby heaven.
Great pictures!
Bright and subtle colors, plus the black and white contrast of big word books.
Rhymes, song-like text, and all the different voices you create while reading - baby entertainment at it’s finest.
Books are perfect for chewing; just make sure you buy baby safe chew books. Don’t allow little ones to chew on paper books, it sets up a bad habit.
Together time with mama and dad (or anyone) while reading.
