Reading holds profound a importance in the lives of children especially in an educational environment which emphasizes standardized testing and specific benchmarks to be reached. Both as a means to help infants develop language skills and to bond with the people who care for them and love them, reading to children can’t start early enough. Reading to an infant gives them individualized attention creating a safe and nurturing time for both parent and baby. Guiding parents through the realization that the eyes of infants cannot yet discern colors nor tightly focus, the broad black-and-white images and patterns of Baby provide the stimulation these tiniest of new readers can process. Gradually giving way to colors, this book helps make lap time learning time in a fun and fresh way. With clear instructions for parents on what to say, as well as explanations of why, Baby: Read With Your Infant is the perfect gift for any new family.
