TODDLERS

Picture books are perfect for toddlers and illustrations should be on every page with very little text, if any. Nursery rhymes, counting, ABC books, picture books, wordless books, song books, finger play and board books are excellent. It might be a wise idea to purchase these books due to the wear and tear on them.

Children under two years of age tend to be confused by a different book every day. They love favorites read over and over.

BEARS ON CHAIRS BEARS ON CHAIRS
written by Shirley Parenteau, illus. by David Walker, (Candlewick Press, $15.99, ISBN 978-0-7636-3588-6), 32p, Ages 2-5.
Four adorable small bears fit nicely into four small chairs, until Big Brown Bear arrives looking for his own chair. "That big bear/needs one whole chair./There's none to spare/for Big Brown Bear." They experiment with several arrangements, but Big Bear is just too big. Only when the chairs are placed together in a row is there room for everyone. The storyline is perfect for teaching little ones sharing and kindness.
