My son is not yet able to pick his own books out, at the ripe age of 4 months, but my husband and I read to him daily and, for the most part, he stays interested. The two “favorites” right now are I Love You This Much and Curious George Goes Fishing, both board books.
I have I Love You This Much nearly memorized at this point. We read it about once a day. It came with a cd with a song that sings the words. It’s a little annoying and super catchy, which means when I read the book now it’s more like singing than reading. The funny thing is that the song calms my son down!
Curious George is always fun. The first time I read Curious George Goes Fishing to Joey he burst out laughing at the pages where you can see the fish and George falls in the water! We haven’t had the same reaction since, but he still smiles at the pages.
I love reading to babies … although usually I’d read my own book, just in a fun voices. My son would stay put as long as I kept talking.
It’s wonderful that you are reading to your baby! He will be bringing you books to read before you know it!
I’ll have to look for the Curious George book … my daughter is a huge George fan and we haven’t seen that one yet!
