Reading time should be a special and quiet time for children. So take your time choosing the right book. There are all kinds of books for kids; funny, sweet, sad, sing- a-longs, etc. Reading books can start as young as a toddler. Of course you as a mother would read to them, but it is a great time for toddlers to explore their imagination looking at the different pictures and build their brain cells. As for the older children, reading also does the same for them as for toddlers except that, they can better understand and can expand their imagination. I have a couple of great picks for Toddlers, and for the older ones. Check them out below.

Toddlers

	Pat the Bunny ( Touch & Feel), Written by Edith Kunhardt Davies Touch and Feel books enhance a toddler's sensory world with textured materials. The materials are attached to durable pages, and the toddler is asked to feel the material or to look in the provided mirror.
	Very Hungry Caterpillar, Written by Eric Carle One of the best-selling children's books of all time, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been delighting young readers for over thirty years. Now packaged as a board book with a new plush doll, this classic book will continue to introduce new generations of children to the magical world of Eric Carle.
	The Going to Bed Book, Written by Sandra Boyton Serious silliness for all ages. Does your child love it when you read to him/her at bedtime? This is the book of all bedtime books.
