Have fun reading to your precious little one! It is such sacred time. Along with the ever-treasured "Good Night Moon," Margaret Wise Brown also wrote "The Runaway Bunny." It is a darling story and, some say, an allegory about God, who always finds us. Your baby just loves the sound of your voice, and the words, and looking at whatever pictures you decide to show. So choose some books that are appealing to you and enjoy every precious minute -- the time when our babies are small is so very fleeting.

If your baby is a newborn, of course he/she can't read or ascertain what you're reading to him/her, so focus on books with vivid colors and patterns to get their minds running. Babies that young are especially benefited by black/white patterns because they can really make out these colors at that age. Stick with patterns for now. When your baby is about 3 to 4 months, you can get some Baby Einstein books with mirrors so baby can look at him/herself and these books have pretty basic wording in them. Only older babies will really benefit from books like Cat in the Hat.
Music, on the other hand, is excellent for development too!

Newborns respond best to black and white patterns. When my son was under 3 months he loved the book Black on White. It has no words, I would just tell him about the shapes. Now that he's older, his favorite toys are those bathtime books. They are easy to clean. He has Spot Goes Splash, and a Bob the Builder one. He chews on them, and he turns the pages all by himself. The touch and feel books are good for babies around 8 months to 2 years. Barnes and Noble has a great selection of infant books. Most of them are around 6 dollars. And, almost all are under twenty. Be proud of yourself for starting your child out early.

There is a wonderful book called "brown bear, brown bear". It now comes in a wooden book for little babies. It has won awards for childrens literature. It is a wonderful book that has a rythem (how do you spell that?), it also teaches about colors and animals. It is amazing. My 5 year old got it last year for his kindergarten book that the schools gives out, then my four year old got the same one this year when he went into Kindergaten. My 18 month old has had it for a while and loves it. Good luck

Anything you read to your baby is great! When they are small, they really don't understand much of what your saying.... but they love the sound of your voice. It helps them learn language skills.
As they get a little older...... They say books with a repeating pattern, rhythm, and bright pictures are wonderful for keeping their attention. I have found with my girls, board books and the cloth covered books that crackle are awesome.
My oldest always has a book in her hand..... loves the library..... and can't wait to go back!

Anything by Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, or Shel Silverstein. I especially like The Giving Tree, Runny Babbit, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and A Light in the Attic.

To a NEWBORN?
Find some very well illustrated books. Picture books. Dont'necessarily read them, just let your baby take in an entire picture as you mention a few related words about it.
Still, it's probably going to take until 3 months for any cognitive development to let them respond, so don't be too dishearted if it feels like you're talking to a wall.

The Hobbit
The purpose of reading to a baby is to expose them to a lot of words and the rhythm of speech. Just read what you enjoy. Don't worry about pictures or anything like that. They will get enough visual stimulation from everything else!

Goodnight Moon. It was the first book I got when I was born almost 20 years ago and to this day, it remains one of my favorite children's books.
