I often read and get books for my granddaughter who is 5. I am also a retired therapist, and think it is important what you put into your mind, so I am choosy about the books I get.

Really very innovative and thrilling. Picture books are important because of how readers interact with them, especially the read-aloud experience. It actually introduces children to the concept of reading, even if they can’t read yet. It encourages conversations between young and older readers. Reading a picture book aloud prompts conversations about what’s happening in the story, what the characters are feeling, meanings of words, how what’s happening might relate to the child. Great reading.
