Andy's Favorite Books-Age 11 Months

Reading to your baby is very important as it can help them learn to read (my brother was able to at age 3 because of it) as well as gets them interested in reading which will help them later in school and in life. We make it a habit to read to Andy every night before he goes to bed. Peter's already told you that we read to him Goodnight Moon. Some of his other favorite books include The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle, The Going to Bed Book and Pajama Time! both by Sandra Boynton, Touch and Feel Farm, and Hugs and Kisses by Christophe Loupy and Eve Tharlet. He also really likes Fly Away Ladybug and Hello, Sun! to play with. His absolute favorite that we put with the toys because he loves it so much is Pat the Bunny. He will play on the floor with this book for a half hour or longer. It's even in his hand now as he's watching Sesame Street. I think for his birthday I'll buy him Pat the Puppy and Pat the Cat as he loves both animals!
