It may seem silly to read to a newborn baby. But it’s not. Reading from day one is enormously important. It’s downtime. It’s cuddle time. It’s routine. It’s a time when the senses get stimulated and the baby makes new connections and learns language. Board books are ideal, not only because they’re hardy enough to withstand a little drool, but you can tap them to keep baby’s attention while reading as they get older and more distracted. But at the end of the day, reading anything together is valuable!
There are countless books on the market for babies. Many of them are good. Some of them are great–ones that your child will likely remember forever. Here are a few of those great ones (and get ready to read them a gazillion times over!)
