6 Baby Books For Boys & Girls on Their First Year

Seeing your little one get curious and explore his or her surroundings is one of the joys of being a parent. Visualizing through images is a good way for them to start learning and one effective method of doing so is by exposing them to picture books. Books can be the best sources for these images for your newborns.

Your little ones cannot read yet. But, they sure are able to make out a lot of ideas just by staring at pictures! Witness your kiddos just gleefully skim through books with delight. Here are some baby books that can cheer up and stimulate your child's imagination.

    1. "Corduroy"

"Corduroy" tells the tale of a bear looking for a home and overall buttons. A little girl named Lisa took him in her care after she bought him at a department store. As seen in Parenting.com, the images of Corduroy and Lisa's activities in the book clearly tell 1-year old kids what's going on in the story.

     2. "My Very First Mother Goose"

Animal character images depicted in this book are adorable. Mother Goose's 60 nursery rhymes, both popular and up and coming, teach your months old child how to sing early in life!

      3. "Is Your Mama a Llama?"

Lloyd the Llama looks silly, yet adorable in images as he tests his friends' knowledge about their mamas. What's more, the rhyming stanzas add to story time, too.

      4. "Goodnight Moon"

As kids turn a year old, they start to sense the people and events around them, little by little. "Goodnight Moon's" story and images are easy to understand for 1-year old kids. A rabbit makes it a good habit to say goodnight to everything around him before he goes to bed. This bedtime story shows the rabbit's room as it dimly lits and he gets a good night's sleep.

       5. "Big Dog and Little Dog, Wearing Sweaters"

When your child is about to become a year old, try to introduce him to "big" and "small." Differentiating the sizes of common animals is a good way to do this. It's a breeze to tell which dog is big and small in sweaters in "Big Dog and Little Dog, Wearing Sweaters", as suggested in Baby Center.

        6. "Fuzzy Bee and Friends"

Roger Priddy's rhyming book features brightly colored butterfly wings, pink corduroy earthworms and textured fabrics, as indicated in Kidspot.com.au. These textured fabrics do their shares in producing noticeable noises. This material makes learning fun, thus, easy for kids under a year old.

Expose the new addition to the family to everything wonderful they need to know and see in early life. Doing so nurtures your little one's mind and senses more than you may realize.
