Reading to Babies

I just came across this video of parents reading aloud to their babies in the NICU... seriously gave me chills.  This is what I want to encourage ALL parents to do.  Reading aloud to our new babies does not only give them access to the language they need for growing and learning but it is a way to bond and fall in love.  Please spread the word and considering donating a book to Books for Babes!

In the video they are reading Good Night Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, a classic baby board book. Here are some other classics by Margaret Wise Brown.

Runaway Bunny

A sweet tale of a little bunny trying to get away from his mama, only to realize she will always be there.

Good Night Little One 

A soft, poetic bedtime story for all little ones.

Big Red Barn

With text similar to Good Night Moon, only this is set on the farm.  All the animals are there playing during the day and then slowly getting ready for sleep as the sun goes down.








Happy Reading!
