When your little one goes off to kindy, you may feel a little bit of abandonment and wonder how you can maintain the bond you've had with them since birth. Reading is still one of the best ways to interact with your child, although you might find that they have memorised all the words to their favourite books and you can no longer skip pages when you're too tired to read the same thing over and over! They might even want to read to you, making up stories about the pictures and reciting familiar lines. Here are some fun Books for Kids (4+) -- and bigger kids too.
