Reading to children for a few minutes each day is the most enjoyable and enriching way to raise an avid reader.

The Magical World of Books

When children look at illustrations, they:

  • Respond instantly to beautiful, colourful pictures
  • Become absorbed in books.

When children listen to words and the sounds that go with them, they:

  • Interact with the story
  • Turn the page to find out more
  • Join in, enjoying familiar rhymes and sentences.

There is so much more to books than meets the eye, though. That is why children love to read books many times over. They know that they will always discover something new with each reading of the story.

Children’s Books Cover Interesting Topics

Fiction and non-fiction books by well-loved writers, illustrators and publishers of children’s books, offer a great way:

  • To introduce interesting topics that delight children of all ages
  • To cover sensitive topics – like toilet training, going to school or safety – using language and concepts that make sense to children.

Books for Babies

Reading to babies is more like telling a story and having a conversation while looking at pictures in books they love.

Books for Preschoolers

Preschoolers adore books. While reading with children we gradually shift some of the story telling to them in books they love.
