I’m interested to read your suggestions “Loving Mom.” The other comment you left was signed “Loving Aunt.” I think two comments about the same book = one too many. Is there a degree of self-interest in your comment?

I just read a cute story, Ladybug Baby Bug, to my 15-month old. He can’t read yet, but the bold, primary colors used on the cover and illustrations pull him in and keep his attention while I read. The illustrations must be stimulating his brain development and the reading has to be sinking in over time. I found the book, Ladybug Baby Bug to be a great bedtime story. It really seems to interest him over and over again. I’d recommend it to anyone with a small child who cannot read yet and up to 6 years old (early readers). The family care and love theme leaves this this age range with a positive message. It’s always great as a mon knowing you’re passing the time with your child in a positive, supportive way. There’s a lot of repetitive words and phrases which make it grab and hold the attention of little ones.
