Children’s Literature

Reading my seem a bit too advanced for infants and toddlers, however it is very important for early brain stimulation and language accessibility. The act of, “Reading with infants and toddlers contributes to the development of language and prereading skills. But more important, it encourages the interaction of the early childhood professional and the child” (Hasson, E.A, 1991).

All Are Welcome

This book is about everyone having a place in the world. I think this is a good book for toddler aged kids because it can help prepare them to know that they are not alone and to respect people that are different from them. It can help children prepare for preschool and teach them how important diversity is. This book promotes self love and individuality. This book also discusses empathy and cultural sensitivity, along with gender sensitivity. It scored high on all of the rubric guidelines.

What's Inside My Lunch Box?: A Lift-the-Flap Book

This book is about lunches around the world. It has pop ups for infants and toddlers to interact with, all while talking about healthy meals and culture. For example, the American lunch has chicken tenders, milk, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, broccoli, and macaroni. This shows a relatively balanced meal that a child would like to eat and can teach them to be entertained by food. This is very important for child development because it can help form a relationship between food and entertainment and help the child learn to enjoy their food.

What’s in There? All About Before You Were Born

This book is very interesting. Many toddlers have questions about where they come from. A parent could use this book to quell questions like that and explain a new pregnancy/younger sibling to their child. This book talks about child formation and prenatal care in a way that is easy and not scary for a child to learn. This is important because a lot of older siblings feel left out when there is a new child in the mix and this is a way to help them feel involved.
