Learn to Love Reading: Books About Books!

Helping your child learn to love reading will be fun when choosing a book from this list!   When sharing stories together, talk with your child about what your favorite book or character was when you were their age, and why.  If you don't remember, visit the library together and discover a new favorite book you both enjoy!  Reading aloud and sharing stories helps your child learn new words and build vocabulary, understand story structure and the format of a book, along with having fun.
