Evaluation: If you have ever been to a library you know how helpful the librarian can be in wading through the vast catalog of great books and recommending great books and (helping you with not so great books) for your children. Imagine having a librarian at your fingertips to recommend over 500 books for you and your child! And, if the only thing that slows your sharing of books to your baby is the fear “where do I begin” or even if you have a small library started and are ready to move on to more, this book is a wonderful resource! Books are separated by topics like nursery rhymes and picture books and each title is annotated with a brief summary. It also offers searching techniques, information on children’s book publishers, websites, and further reading for parents on this topic. A must have book on pre-literacy, early literacy development, and reading to your children at this age.
