Books for Kids to Enjoy this Summer
Special to The Truth
Whether you are heading
out of town on vacation or sticking around the neighborhood
pool, kids need diversions in summer. Take some time to
restock kids’ bookshelves with great reads.
“All kids love books, even
if they’re too little to read. For babies and toddlers,
choose kid-sized books full of bright photos that they will
love looking at again and again. There’s so much research
showing how important reading is for a child’s development.
You can build on it by making the experience fun for parents
and their children,” says Rachel Barry, vice president of
marketing and publicity at DK, a publisher of adult and
children’s books.
For preschoolers, consider
these new titles.
Fun at the Farm
Cushioned, bumpy and shiny
pages encourage sensory development, language skills, and
early reading skills. As part of DK’s Touch and Feel Series,
“Really Feely: Farm” also introduces babies and toddlers to
a favorite pre-school subject: farm animals, including
fluffy ducklings, woolly sheep and a bristly pig.
Learning Adventure
Help build your baby’s
identification and language skills. In “100 First Words,”
photography and labels introduce primary concepts like
shapes, colors and animals, and encourage pointing, naming,
and talking.
Favorite Animals
A classic board book,
“Baby Touch & Feel: Animals,” helps children develop their
knowledge of animals while increasing the use of their
senses. Babies will meet puppies, kittens, penguins and
other animals throughout the pages of this book that
features photographs and touch-and-feel textures.
Pop-Up Surprises
For children who love farm
animals, consider an interactive book featuring flaps,
touch-and-feel textures and incredible pop-out surprises.
Promoting memory, imagination and parent-and-child
interaction, “Pop-Up Peekaboo: Farm” enhances the reading
experience.
Feel the Love
Celebrate love and promote
sensory development and early language skills with this USA
Today Bestseller, “Baby Touch & Feel: I Love You,” which
features soft bunnies, fuzzy teddy bears, sparkly hearts and
more.

make the summer season fun can be found at

Create a love of learning
and literature during the preschool years by providing kids
with great reading material all year long.
