Read only as long as your baby pays attention. If it's only 45 seconds, that's okay. Don't be intimidated by wordless books, just talk about the pictures together. He's holding the baby. Be willing to read your baby's favorite books over and over again.
Children enjoy repetition.
Keep the books down near baby's level so that he can find and look at them himself. This material has been adapted from Peekaboo . . . and Other Games to Play with Your Baby by Shari Steelsmith. Order a copy on our secure order form. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
