Learning about books is an important skill for your baby to develop. Sharing books is different from teaching a baby to read. By playing together with books, your baby will begin to feel comfortable with them and you will be giving your baby a great start.
Babies learn to explore by looking.
Your baby can look at a book long before she will be able to hold it. They love looking at faces and respond to simple pictures. Talking to your baby about a book will encourage him to speak. Babies enjoy the sing-song voice that adults use with them. They love the rhythm and repetition - one reason why they enjoy nursery rhymes.
