Obviously there are many great authors out there and fun books for children! If you have a favorite please feel free to share it with me. Reading is a wonderful tool for small children. Even though Lincoln cannot truly read the words to himself yet, the benefits of books are endless. Children learn language, letters and sounds by listening to others say them. When asked Lincoln can point out cars, animals, planes, colors, etc. so he is learning what the pictures in the book are. It is amazing what little minds take in that we don't even realize! Reading, talking and singing are all very important things for childhood development, even if you don't have hours to read with your child everyday, establishing a set time at bedtime or a quiet time before nap time can be a fun routine for all!
