All of a sudden, your baby doesn’t seem like a baby anymore! This is an amazing time for your little one as they’re very aware of the world around them. Even though they’re not saying them yet, your baby is already learning words. A wonderful way to learn new words is by pointing out pictures in favorite books and talking about each thing on the page. They’re also learning about how books work so having them hand you a book can give you a chance to talk about how you hold it. Letting your baby turn the pages gives you an opportunity to praise their own efforts at handling a book.

Why did we select this book?
Words, there are so many wonderful words! There is a point in your child's development when they will want to hear the word for everything they see. The more words you can share with them, the more likely they'll to be a strong comprehender when they read on her own. This book allows you to name daily objects in your child' life and discover some new ones as well.
Related Activities
As you are reading, point out what the child in the book is doing or the object on the page and have a conversation about it with your child. For example, “This baby loves eating. What do you love to eat?” or “Here is a picture of a banana. We eat yellow bananas, too!” Your child will not always fully understand, but by making the connections between the pictures, the words, and their life, you are building an excellent foundation for healthy brain development.
