Books are a great way to keep babies amused anytime, anywhere.

Babies like it when you act out the story and use different voices. They will enjoy getting involved by copying your actions and singing along with you.

In their second year you can start to show them letters and sounds.

Make up extra details. Your baby will like to give characters different names and be part of the story. Use the book for actions – let it fly, jump or hide. ||More about reading to your child>>
