    Synopsis

    Research shows that the number of different words a baby hears each day is the single most important predictor of later intelligence, school success and social competence.

    Reading with Babies, Toddlers and Twos is a fun, interactive guide for parents on what to read, when to read and how to read to children ages zero to three—answering all of the questions of parents, expectant parents and grandparents who wander through the bookstore scanning the shelves:

    — What do you buy after you've bought Goodnight Moon?

    — Why should I read to a baby who doesn't even know she has feet?

    — How am I going to read to a baby who just found his feet—and won't stop trying them out?

    — How often should I read to my baby to make sure she's ready for preschool?

    Reading with Babies, Toddlers and Twos is the definitive answer to reading with baby—beginning when she's still in the womb!

    06/28/2006: From beginning to end, this book is chock full of invaluable information about the why's, what's, when's and how's of reading to our children. I honestly can't think of a more important parenting book out there. It just makes so much sense. And although I already do it, it got me excited about reading to my kids again and reminded me why I read to all of my babies in utero. (For fun! Who knew it was so beneficial?) There's just no better way to connect, bond and engage with children. I grew up with this philosophy that books are our friends (my Mother really did tell us that) and it's a joy to learn exactly why reading with our children is so important. I already love giving books as gifts and you can be assured, this book will be hastily added to my baby shower/new baby/1st and 2nd birthday gift list. I can think of no better gift for a parent than the gift of true quality time with their kids. A time to discover, laugh, tickle and snuggle. A time to sing, rhyme, interact and learn. Together. What can be better than that?
