Some must read CLASSICS for toddlers!

Scroll down to content

Inculcating the habit of reading in kids is the best thing you can do for you kids. All mothers know that…. But what many of us don’t realise is that what kind of books are kids should be really exposed to.

When I first started reading stories to my daughter, ADVIKA, I would just walk in to a book store and pick up anything colourful with interesting characters and continue on with my reading spree with her. Her fondness to listen, lead me to buy more and more books and gradually experience the variety of authors, publishers and texts filling up the story book world. It was only when my journey brought me face to face with some really good classics, that I realised what the art of story telling really was and how important it was to choose your books wisely. The writing style, the story line, the language and the picture work in some of these books was just unsurpassable!

So mothers, it is my pleasure to be able to share the names of some of these famous books with you. I hope you will find the difference in story telling and enjoy reading them with your kids as much as I did!
