Reading to babies and pre-schoolers plays a crucial part in developing their language and literacy skills. But with so many books on the market, finding something that will be a hit with your children can prove a bewildering and frustrating experience.
To help first-time parents navigate the aisles of bookshops and libraries, we have compiled a "classic ten" list of books for three age categories. Bear in mind that individual children develop at varying rates and also, of course, differ in their interests. However, the books below - some classics that have survived generations and some more recent titles - have all got a special quality that should give pleasure to children and parents alike. Enjoy!
Your local specialist children's bookshop will also be able to help with invaluable recommendations for books to suit your child's age and interests.
