A great present for new parents

I found this book invaluable because Dorothy Butler, a teacher, mother and now grandmother, sensibly explains why babies are never 'too young' to enjoy the shared experience of books and reading. As a first-time mother who's often short of time, I felt quite lost looking for books which would stimulate both my baby and me! Butler provides synopses of the titles which she has tried and tested on many children and useful booklists according to your child's age. (up to 6) I have bought almost all the recommended titles for my toddler and without exception, he's loved them all. Among her suggestions for babies and toddlers are classics like "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" to the "Spot" series and new authors like Molly Bang and Sian Tucker. This book is listed 'hard to find' but it's worth the effort!
