Even babies like listening to the rhythm of nursery rhymes, and enjoy looking at picture books.
Toddlers love sharing stories, new or familiar.
They can help to turn the pages and join in with the story as you read. All Brighton and Hove Libraries have lots of picture books, displayed in bright, easy to reach boxes. Children may have their own library card, and borrow 6 books at a time. Look out for other activities in your local library. Visit the Book Trust website for further information about books and reading.
