Toddler Must-Reads

So why are you putting books in your toddler’s hand? If you’re like most moms, you certainly would want to develop your tiny tot’s reading habits. After all, everyone wants a bright, smart kid, right? Which is why, you have to boost your toddler’s learning potential simply by making books an integral part of his or her life.

Here are the best books recommended for toddlers:

1. Guess How Much I Love You
This book tells about the adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare and his father, Big Nutbrown Hare, and their efforts to measure how much they love each other. The story explores the tender idea of boundless love between a parent and a child.Written by a British children’s book written by Sam McBratney and illustrated by Anita Jeram, this award-winning book develops a child’s lifetime bond with parents.

2. The very Hungry Caterpilar
The Very Hungry Caterpillar follows the wonderful adventures of a very tiny and very hungry caterpillar that progresses through an amazing variety of foods towards his eventual metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly. A winner of many children’s literature awards and a major graphic design award, this book, written by Eric Carle, is a great first Science book for toddlers.

 

3.  We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

This Michael Rosen’s award-winning read-aloud romp We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is a delightful book to read-aloud to year little one. The book follows the story of a father and his four children to go on a traditional bear hunt based on the old camp chant: “We’re going on a bear hunt. / We’re going to catch a big one. / What a beautiful day! / We’re not scared.” Be as animated as you can as you read/sing this book to your child.


Studies show that toddlers with great exposure to language have social and educational advantages — putting a book in every child’s hand and reading them aloud to him or her, therefore,  is one of the best exposures to language to keep a child ahead.


Let us always read aloud so our toddlers can. Enjoy reading the recommended books for toddlers. Here’s an interesting link for us moms  for a successful read-aloud activity at home.
