Baby Books For Learning And Enjoying

There are a variety of baby books available today.  Depending on your need as a mom, you can find any topic in any bookstore.

For example, there are baby books for moms wherein every concern about pregnancy is discussed; there are books for which you can teach a baby the alphabet or numbers; and there are those books that offer stories of enchanted places and roads not often traveled that can command any baby’s attention.

Early education begins with reading baby books.  It allows a baby to grow up in a world of words; words that can move, inspire, imagine, and foster intellectual discussion. At a time when most children in middle and high school are lacking in reading and comprehension skills, it seems appropriate that moms and dads begin the process of reading at a very young age.

When J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” books first came on the scene, there was an overwhelming desire by kids of every age, and in every country, to read about the adventures of Harry, Hermione, and Ron.  The books even captured the hearts of adults as well.

In our day, “Superman” and “Wonder Woman” were our heroes and we steadfastly purchased every comic book in the series.  It’s no different today.  The names may have changed, but kids still love to read about their favorite people who embark on a myriad of adventures, like “Harry Potter” or “The Lord of the Rings.”

Baby books read nightly can open the door to words.  These words, when understood, further open the door to fairy tales and good witches.  When Dorothy opened the door of her home and stepped into the Land of Oz, a whole new world of possibilities became real.  This same analogy can be used for babies who begin to slowly comprehend each word and require more and more to complete the jumbled puzzle.

While there are hundreds of sites about baby books, it is the books for babies that have become the most widely read.  One of the most popular baby books is “Goodnight Moon” written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd.  Wonderfully written in poetry, it is one of the baby books every mom and dad has on hand to read to baby each night.  Another universal book which is read yearly to babies and children is “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore.

Just as listening to music has been shown to calm and soothe a baby, so too baby books read before a peaceful slumber can have an equal but more quintessential effect.  More importantly, however, as the baby grows so does the need to hear more stories and finally, the eventual beginnings of reading on one’s own develops into a real taste for books of all genres.
