Happy Birthday
to Dr. Seuss - March 2nd.

Read Accross America Day is March 3rd!

It's never too early to read with your child!

• Young children like to be read to, but they especially like stories that rhyme.
• As babies learn to grasp things, pick light cloth books.Choose board books with simple, bright pictures.
• As babies become interested in what's inside a book, pick those with pictures of animals, babies, and familiar objects.
• As babies begin to do activities by themselves, read simple stories about routine events:eating, taking a bath, or going to bed.
• As babies learn to talk, read books that invite them to repeat rhymes, words, and phrases.
• When older babies want to join in, read books with textures and things to touch.

The Theodore Seuss Geisel Award is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished contribution to the body of American children’s literature known as beginning reader books published in the United States.
