Beginning with Books, a literacy organization that promotes childhood reading, released their 2010 list of the Best Books for Babies. The list includes a lineup of colorful and interactive books, some of which may even be in your own babies’ libraries.
According to experts, it’s never too early to start reading to babies. In fact, regularly reading with babies and young kids encourages them to become enthusiastic lifelong readers, according to Beginning with Books.
Books are perhaps some of my most favorite gifts to give kids. They’re great as an add-on gift or a stocking stuffer, too! Though not all kids will put books high on their gift list, you really can’t go wrong with a great book or three!

I’ve been enjoying the tweets I’ve been receiving about BookExpo America that’s taking place right now in NYC. I wanted to attend one of the children’s book and authors events, but since I couldn’t attend, instead, I thought I’d share one of the many books that we enjoy– Little Oink by By Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by Jen Corace.
Little Oink is a cute story about a pig who loves to clean. His parents, however, insist that “in order to be a proper pig, he has to learn to how make a proper mess.” As a creative type who often had a ‘pigstye’ of my own to clean, I appreciate this role reversal and and all around lovable book.
Check out the trailer for the book, too! Read More
