This is the first post in our "Love to Read" series which highlights fun and educational books that will help your child develop into an avid reader! Be sure to check back later in the week for recommendations for older children.
Reading to your children can start soon after birth. The simple act of reading aloud as you flip through picture books with your infant or toddler is a shared activity that not only helps create a closer bond between you, but also boosts your child’s language and cognitive development. Get your newborn bundles of joy off to an early reading start with these 10 picks:
- Mine! A Backpack Baby Story by Miriam Cohen
- Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback
- I Went Walking by Sue Williams
- Flower Garden by Eve Bunting
- Sail Away by Donald Crews
- Nuts to You! By Lois Ehlert
- Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert
- All Fall Down by Helen Oxenbury
- Pots and Pans by Anne Rockwell
- Jungle Walk by Nancy Tafuri

Reading to the unborn helps in later stage of emotional development too, this is my 2 cents.
