Books for little ones- Our favourite reads for year 0-2

I started reading bedtime stories for both my kids when they started to roll and wanted to explore their surroundings. When they were infants, I got them touch and feel books, softs books and books woth sound. At this stage, choose books which are basic and simple to read and do not have much graphics. It makes it easier for them to recognise and understand better.

Also, I used to talk to them explaining the things in the books and they cutely responding in their gibberish language. They understood different levels of sound and emotions through my voice. Its fun to see lil munchkins trying to grasp as much as they can. A few of our favourite books which inculcated the habit of reading and developed the love for books in both my kids are shared here.

1. Playbook by BabyTouch Ladybird

This multi-sensory book with clear and bright graphics, flaps to turn, holes to peek into and fabrics to touch and feel will  make it easy for little ones to explore things around them. A great bonding book for parent and child as well as it would be first time the child will experience different textures.

2. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

This amazing touch and feel book shows the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. With strong details and eye catching colors, this one will keep the baby engrossed.
