We've heard how important it is to read to our little ones, starting from birth. Infants love the bright pictures and simple text of board books, while older babies enjoy turning the pages and pointing to the things they see. Best of all, they like quality time with their parents -- and that's priceless. Make reading a book a part of your child's afternoon activities or beditme routine. It is an excellent habit to get into and sets them up to seek out books on their own as they get older. Here are some wonderful Books for Babies and Toddlers (0-2) to help you get started.
