Steps for Sharing Books

1. Pick the best time—when both of you are

in the mood.

2. Share the book—point to pictures and talk

in an excited voice.

3. Watch baby—let baby play with the book

and take a break if baby’s not having fun.

4. Cuddle—touch and love baby while sharing

books.

5. Share books every day—it’s important even

if only for a few minutes.
