People usually ask me what kind of books should I purchase for my baby? I usually tell them that the books must be age appropriate. The books should have few words and it should be a short story.You should buy board books for infants and toddlers,books that they cannot rip easily. When your baby begins to crawl you should have some books on the floor in a bin that is the baby can reach.You should have books that you read to the baby that can be soft covers.You can purchase cloth and plastic books. Infants and toddlers love to explore and in doing so they love to rip paper I think they like the sound that the paper makes.
Here are a few read aloud that you should have:
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Luura J.Numeroff
Babies On The Move by Susan Canizares
A Rain Bow All Around Me by Sandra L.Pinkney
Click Clock Moo Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin
Brown Bear ,Brown Bear What Do You See by Bill Martin Jr
Sometimes I'm Bombaloo by Rachel Vail
When Sophie Gets Really Really Angry by Molly Bang
Nino'o Mask by Jeanette Winter
There is a Big Beautiful Word Out There by Nancy Carlson
Dr. Suess collection is great also.
Chicka,Chicka Boom Boom
Many of these books are made in board books also.
I will add books each week.
If you are living in Harlem there is a great children's book store at 112 and Broadway and 122nd close to Lenox.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
