My child often asks for BILBY MOON. the illustrations really engage her, she has pointed out the little ant on each page, from an early age. She can now recognise a moon whether it's a crescent, half or full etc, from seeing this book so much. One of her first words was "STAR", which i also attribute to this book.
it's quite a calming book for a bedtime read too.
we have abridged the text content, to make it shorter when she was smaller. Sometimes we just discuss the illustrations and don't even read the words. It's made me realise there is more than just one way, to read a book.
i am so thrilled now, that at 2.5, when she has nothing to do, she goes and finds a book and sits down to "read" it to herself. I always wanted her to love books, and so far, i can see this starting.
