    Books for Newborns

    "Next to hugging your child, reading aloud is probably the
    longest lasting experience that you can put into your child's life.
    You will savour it long after they have grown up."
    Jim Trelease, The New Read-Aloud Handbook (Penguin, 1989) 

    Books for Newborns Letter to New Parents

    Dear Parents,

    Congratulations on the birth of your new baby!  It is a very special time for all of you.

    We hope that you have fun reading the Mother Goose book that has been presented.  By reading as you hold your baby close, you create an atmosphere of warmth and love that your child will associate with books for a lifetime.  You are your child's first teacher, and you have the opportunity to develop a positive attitude toward learning.

    We wish you and your baby many hours of reading pleasure.

    Sincerely,

    Books for Newborns Committee
