Reading to Our Babies

look We asked the Our365 Mom community to send us baby book recommendations. Here are some great picks.- If you and your lap snuggler have a favorite (or two) let us know - just e-mail momtips@our365.com with your child or children's ages and the title. Even better, tell your fellow moms why you and your baby love it.
Look, Look!
by Peter Linenthal
My newborn loved this book - he would just gaze and gaze at the bold black and white pictures and the big, smiling faces.

Baa, La La La!
by Sandra Boynton
I am the mother of a 3-month-old son named William, and since he was about 8 weeks old we have been reading Moo, Baa, La La La! at least once a day. William loves the funny animal sound that I make and gets to associate the sound with really fun and simple illustrations. After reading we usually go through the pictures again and it is amazing how he stares at them and you can definitely see recognition. The book is large and sturdy, too, which makes it just more kid friendly.
