Toddlers can never have too many picture books, and illustrations should be on every page with very little text, if any. Nursery rhymes, counting books, 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.
A Classic is the rare book that has a special element, which enables it to endure the test of time and appeal to children from every generation. It stands out because it has the ability to touch the heart and cross the boundaries of culture, nationality, religion, race, gender, and status.
