WHAT BOOKS WILL LIGHT UP YOUR KIDS ' WORLDS?

BOARD BOOKS? PICTURE BOOKS? READ- ALOUDS?
The single most important gift that parents can give their kids is to read aloud to them every day. This is a wonderful time with no distractions when the focus is on being close to our children and sharing stories with them. Kids who are read to like this go on to become readers themselves.

Light up children's lives with books! Children's Book Week in Australia is August 22-28, 2015.
