There’s no shortage of terrific books for infants online or in conventional stores.  The usual baby books are the sturdy board kinds that teem with colorful pictures.  Examples are Bright Baby First Words and My Big Word Book by Roger Priddy.  Some baby books have built-in sounds or music or are paired with a CD such as The Thrift Store Bears Book.  Still, there are others that encourage touching and discovery, with different textures, like Sassy Baby’s Sense-ations Book.  A few volumes are soft and washable and can be attached to teethers, strollers and playpens, or read during bath time.  Miss Gigi Mae Learns to Read: The Letter A is one.
 
Make sure you have a few books on hand to read to or with your son or daughter.  Reading is a brilliant bonding activity for parent and child that also promotes little ones’ language and sensory development and skills.  And it’s never too early to start your youngster’s love affair with books.  As popular children’s author Rosemary Wells advises, “Read to your bunny often…and your bunny will read to you.”
