Ok, so maybe these aren't exactly books that will get them into Harvard, but these are seven wonderful books that you could and should be reading to your children. Ana all of them are beautiful books that you will enjoy as much as your child will.
1. What A Good Big Brother
Written by Diane Wright Landolf
Paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher
Reading level: Ages 4-8
Cameron has a new baby sister and boy does she cry a lot. His Mom and Dad are good at getting her to stop. They hold her and snuggle with her and she'll stop crying. But Cameron finds his own unique way to get his baby sister to do something special just for him.
This is the perfect story for those families bringing home a younger sibling. The story is universal, and the paintings illustrating the story are beautiful and colorful. This book will be sure to be a hit long after they've adjusted to the new brother or sister.
2. Fanny
by Holly Hobbie
Reading level: Baby-Preschool
This is the adorable story about how Fanny really, really wanted a celebrity glamour doll, but she never, ever got one. So she decided to make her own. She named her doll Annabelle, and Annabelle was a one of a kind doll. This is the story of Fanny and Annabelle and how sometimes being different is a good thing.
Fanny is so colorful and fun, and it's the first book that Holly Hobbie has written for girls and you're going to love it. I thought this book was a very sweet book. We've all had times when we had to tell our kids 'no' over that certain toy. This helps children understand that even though they don't have the 'in' toy, they can have fun.
3. Blueberry Girl
Written by Neil Gaiman, Illustrated by Charles Vess
Reading level: Ages 4-8
