Baby Loves by William Lach illustrated by Mary Cassat


One of Luke's favorite books is called Baby Loves. Aunt Ruth gave it to him. It's very simple, yet exposes him to the works of artist Mary Cassat.


It's also probably a good for one for pre-reading skills for the following reasons:

1. Rhyming - Research shows that children who can understand about rhyming words have a head start in learning to read and, even more, to spell.

2. Keep a range of easier books with very few words, so that your child can begin to 'read' independently, by remembering a story which he has heard often.

What a fun idea! This will be a great little resource for us since your 12 months ahead. :) I hope you keep this up!
