Top Picks for Children's Books

A great children’s book entertains, teaches reading skills, or calms a child before bedtime. But the benefits of reading go far beyond these obvious facts. Reading at a young age:

Strengthens bonds with parents

Primes children for academic success

Increases vocabulary and language skills

Establishes logical thinking patterns

Helps with concentrate and focus

Teaches new things and concepts

Develops communication skills
