Baby Read-Aloud Basics

I can't let the Week of the Young Child end without recommending an excellent guide for parents. With Baby Read-Aloud Basics, you'll find out why you should read to your baby, how to read to your baby during the six different stages of growth and development between birth and 24 months, recommended read-alouds, and more. According to Jim Trelease, author of The Read-Aloud Handbook, "If I were in charge of American parents, my first law would be that all new parents had to read this book."
