Do you have little readers in your house? Perhaps you have small children who are just starting to sound out their own words, or follow along with their eyes as you read to them. Early reader books are perfect for this age group. Not only does an early introduction to books help their imagination and comprehension develop, but it also strengthens the parent-child bond when done together.
One great way to encourage your child to read more is helping them keep track of how many books they’ve enjoyed, fostering a sense of accomplishment.
Another way to ensure that your child develops a true love of reading is to provide them with vibrant pictures, funny characters, and lessons they can relate to.

Four Friends. Three Cookies. One Problem. Hippo, Croc, and the Squirrels are determined to have equal cookies for all! But how? There are only three cookies . . . And four of them. . . What’s more, they need to act fast before nervous Hippo breaks all the cookies into crumbs!
