Who says babies don’t love books? What focus! What happiness! What learning!

This section has many parts:

  1. my ten read aloud commandments
  2. a list of must-have classics for young children
  3. a list of perfect books for babies under one year old
  4. a speech I gave once about the war between books and television
  5. a rant about phonics and reading, because I know how much grief and anxiety it causes parents
  6. an article I wrote for a newspaper about childcare for the very young
  7. an email from a concerned parent about child care issues
