Read Across America Week
Tips for selecting books for baby:
-
Cloth or plastic books work well because they can be washed and won't fall apart when wet.
-
Touch-and-feel books are a great option to give your baby new textures to feel.
-
Books with simple, large pictures work great because they have no plot and can be started and stopped anytime.
