5.0 out of 5 stars but which ones?, 21 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Reading aloud to your child should be a pleasure. A good book will be read over and over, so how do you choose one that both you and your child will continue to enjoy? Check out "Babies Need Books". Dorothy Butler 's recommendations for babies , toddlers and preschoolers are perfect. I can't remember a book that she recommended that my little boys and I didn't like. Some books were so well loved - "Sam's Birthday", "The Tiger Who Came to Tea" , "Alfie's Feet" and "When Titch was Little" to name a few - that I will keep them for my boys to read to their own children one day. But this is more than just a reading list. Dorothy Butler describes how children of different ages and development appreciate and enjoy all sorts of books, in all sorts of ways from the smell and the feel of a new book to the pictures, stories, sounds and rhythms of poetry. I know it doesn't include books published in the last few years but don't let that stop you buying it. You will probably find yourself wondering which of the more recent kids' books you own would qualify as a good book and make it into an updated edition. Any booklover with small children will enjoy reading this and will dip back into it over the years.
