Text of the page (random words):
en and getting them truly interested in books is not easy the reading technique matters and the book picked definitely matters additionally the number of books counts reading 1 3 books day most infant books are done in around 3 minutes flat definitely does not have the same impact as reading 5 15 books day while many parents are eager to buy books they may get frustrated at a child s apparent lack of interest because they have not introduced the right books at the right age as an example i found that gauri would reject certain books at certain time points and i would be pissed off that i wasted my money only to have her suddenly fall in love in love with them a few months later while there are many websites and resources providing lists of children s books few really stratify by them by age this blogpost aims to do just that 0 3 months in this period babies see in black and white and are just learning to track objects at this point stick with black and white books i have not reviewed these personally myself because i started reading to g when she was 3 months old but these are affordable and look like good choices based on reviews look look baby anim als and hello animals 3 8 months touch and feel books are safe and excellent choices for this age where i think touch is the sense to focus on i actually only started reading to g at 3 months with the usborne series i got that s not my monkey and that s not my panda she listened well enough at that point she was immobile so could not wander off but did not seem to show much active interest she started crawling at 6 months which meant she had the option of wandering off if a book did not hold her attention this allowed me to really gauge if a book held her interest at around 7 months i could really tell that her interest in books had increased significantly when she started feeling each texture very soon she came to have favorite textures she would make me flip pages till she came to what she liked and she would spend a while rubbing her fingertips against that i then got more in the series including that s not my dinosaur that s not my tiger recommended and that s not my lion not their best effort if i had a do over i think i would have gotten that s not my puppy instead emboldened by her interest in the usborne touch and feel books i started to expand my collection i got many books and had many hits and a few misses if she was bored she would listen to me read a page and she would just push off my lap and crawl off my recommendations from this point on are based on the hits and misses 8 12 months a great many things worked during this time she went nuts nuts i tell you for goodnight moon for reasons beyond me and also moo ba la la slightly more understandable instantly she was more guarded but still enthusiastic for peek a who what kept her attention was the promise of the mirror at the end of the book her enthusiasm for this really simple book has actually increased not diminished in the 12 18 month period dear zoo was something i bought her later at 13 months ish and it was met instantly with great enthusiasm it is well executed and the flaps are well constructed i am including it in the 8 12 month list here because i do believe it would have worked at an earlier point as well some eric carle books were also instant hits again for reasons beyond me i do not understand why brown bear brown bear with its crude illustrations and really simple text one animal sees the other and the other and so on worked so magically its sequel polar bear polar bear introduced at 13 months was also a hit though i think it would have worked at an earlier point as well the very hungry caterpillar introduced at this time was also a hit but a rather conditional one it worked in part because of the circular cardboard cut outs in each page those kept her engaged and i do not know how successful it would have been without them a slightly off the beaten track find at this point was the game of finger worms to read this one you draw faces on your fingers and push them though really large holes in time to the story i figured this would work because she loved the cutout holes in the the very hungry caterpillar and turns out i was right other good books that worked instantly at this point but also helped her get familiar with the different parts of the body were these two where is baby s belly button and i love you through and through this one covers some body parts and also emotions happy sad angry etc and the illustrations are adorable highly recommended while i have not tried the third head shoulders knees and toes i include it here because it is a similar category and appears to be well received 13 18 months i think their comprehensive abilities definitely go up after the one year mark and many 12 13 month olds may be ready for the multiple lines per age books one case in point at 8 months i had introduced chicka chicka boom boom a long multiple lines per page book about the alphabets climbing a coconut tree she hated it at this point she would listen to one page impatiently push the book away and walk off or grab another one i kept trying for a few months and eventually gave up startlingly one day around the 13 month point she opened the cupboard picked out this book and brought it to me and sat through the first half of it the next day the same thing continued and we inched forth and soon she was listening to the entire book and demanding i read it to her 5 times a day another such example is but not the hippopotamus by sandra bonyton i bought this along with moo ba la la la while she loved the latter at 7 months she showed all signs of detesting the former at this time mysteriously at around 13 14 months without any prompting from me i had given up this one became a firm favorite other choices that worked at this age little blue truck this is a delightful little book comparing and contrasting a friendly little blue truck with a rude and loud yellow dump truck and shows the power of being nice to people and is really easy to read and emote this was an almost instant winner the ramifications of this one sink in slowly over time and i think this book can be revisited by the child many times between the ages of 1 3 the very lonely firefly i tried 3 eric carle books the grouchy ladybug mister seahorse and this one and firefly was the only one that worked for this age it is a nice book that teaches kids about the different sources of light and also introduces them to the concept of finding friends and when you get to the end of the board book there is an electronic feature that makes the little fireflies light up which my daughter does enjoy do not know if it is worth the extra though the llama llama series this is a wonderfully illustrated series that really allows the parents to really emote while reading it the words rhyme wonderfully these cover various situations a baby llama who is feeling alone at bedtime after his mom tucks him in and has a meltdown llama llama red pajama a baby who is feeling lost at preschool llama llama misses mama about a baby who has a meltdown while shopping llama llama mad at mama about sharing llama llama time to share etc i have the first which is the most popular one in the series and my daughter loved it almost instantly the best behavior series on the first day that she went to a mother toddler class my daughter bit 5 kids out of sheer excitement i was not to know that she would settle down by herself the next class and ended up buying a couple of books teeth are not for biting and feet are not for kicking from this series the very next day even though they were not really needed for the intended purpose i have to say that g went nuts for these straightaway and that these books are useful they cover the legitimate uses of teeth chewing smiling and also discuss how to cope with teething pain feet walking standing running jumping and so on my daughter was immediately entranced by the idea of jumping and attempted it straightaway and also tell kids how to respond if they are bitten or kicked there are a couple of others in the series hands are not for hitting and diapers are not forever that look useful as well learning books elmo s big lift and look book this is a nice lift the flap book it covers numbers alphabets shapes opposites etc and my daughter enjoyed the crap out of it the only downside with getting it at this age is that children can get too enthusiastic and rip the flaps off ten wriggly wriggly caterpillars if one buys this book get the hardcover version it is a great counting book for counting down from 10 to 1 and is nicely constructed warning my daughter ripped out every last pop up butterfly on the last page though and it physically hurt me may want to hold off if you have a rambunctious toddler so far all my suggestions are fairly mainstream suggestions got from other moms and are mostly by american authors other than herve tullet who is french now we get into the stuff that i discovered by accident the very best way the bizzy bear series this series a chance find in a books by weight sale of mostly british authors is a total gem while the appeal of most children s books eric carle books are are great example are evident to the children the parents often fail to see the appeal this books are different babies and parents will fall for them instantly these contain cleverly constructed sliders and really cute illustrations i would love to live in the town drawn up by the author it is charming the sliders in these books will keep babies busy for a while but be warned these books spur toddlers on to great enthusiasm so there will be damage down the road they cover various situations firemen bizzy bear fire rescue pirates bizzy bear pirate adventure modes of transport bizzy bear off we go knights and dragons bizzy bear knights castle so they are useful for expanding the imagination as well julia donaldson books this author is hugely popular in england and hence her books are also available in india the post colonial influences still exist but few across the atlantic seem to have heard of her here is a book by her that would be appropriate for the under 18 months subset one ted falls out of bed gauri loved this on the second or third read and it teaches counting up to 10 and counting down from 10 in a seriously charming way i got a rather limited board book by the same author from a library the odd thing was that g was absolutely fascinated by her most popular character the gruffalo which was pictured at the end of this rather ordinary book have to buy the gruffalo and the gruffalo s child for her when she is older there seems to be a child s board book also featuring the gruffalo that may be suitable for toddlers my first gruffalo little library this one looks more interesting than the board book i got another gem in my books by weight stash is this smarties prize finalist called five little fiends while the recommended ages for this are 2 5 years based on one source and 4 years based on another source it absolutely worked when i introduced this to gauri at 16 months this is a wonderfully simple yet thought provoking way to introduce the concepts of sharing and harmony 5 little fiends who live in 5 statues love to come out and marvel at the world around them one day they decide to take what each of them likes best the sun the moon the sky the land and the sea and keep them all for themselves and they realize that nothing works without the other at 16 17 months i do not know how much g really understands of these concepts but she loves this story and this is one of those you just have to keep revisiting every few months highly recommended another book that is recommended for older kids pre school to grade 2 but still really works for gauri at this time is boston globe horn book award winner mr tiger goes wild i cannot begin to express how much i love this book certainly my toddler loves the illustrations even though she cannot understand the ramifications of this story yet but it is a wonderful story about breaking free from the pack and being true to your own self it is also a story of acceptance of unconventionality or differences by society and how one person or animal can lead the way for change buy this for your older children definitely but it may also work for the under 2 set as this is not a board book i am very careful when she reads this because i want to preserve this book for the next 4 years and have her read it again and again so some of the valuable nuances i see as an adult may percolate into her consciousness as well another real winner is this whimsical book with dreamy lovely illustrations called the pear tree you should consider this if you like singing to your child it can be sung to the tune of the 12 days of christmas and it goes like on the first day of january my grandpa showed to me a pigeon in a pear tree and so on so it can teach a child about the months of the year the changing seasons various animals and various relations and it is about counting my daughter alternately gets up and twirls to me singing or is entranced by squirrels and starlings score indeed this concludes my 13 18 month list check back in a while i should have a new crop posted by unknown at 3 02 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday september 5 2015 aylan kurdi i have been meaning to write one of my memory book posts of what gauri has been upto stories that i may easily forget now if i do not catalog them somewhere today i have the time but my brain is heavy because i cannot get that image of aylan kurdi out of my mind that was another toddler too collectively our conscience can if one is being exceedingly kind be described as sluggish but children bring out every last nugget of humanity that we possess i wonder if somebody even in isis can look at that image and feel no pangs of shame or sorrow i am feeling awful that this burden is apparently just europe s to bear based on proximity it should not be just europe sharing this of giving these people a place to live to try to reclaim life again even if different countries take in piddly numbers in an organized manner it counts for something words are empty as individuals we can do very little other than donate and even when you do i did to this one one feels slightly empty and shameful about it after all i picked this cause because that photo has moved me to tears many times in the past 2 days previously this entire thing had been no more than many headlines on a news website you felt bad about it but moved on as we always do and why this crisis why respond to this little life lost awful things have been happening steadily in the past libya iraq it took this image to move me enough to make a piddly gesture but here is to action piddly or otherwise here is hoping that image gets some people in power to move as well germany is taking in 800 000 sweden is ...
