Benefits of Reading Unicorn Picture Books with Young Children

Babies and young kids are looking for ways to interact with the wonderful people around them! Reading together exposes them to communication and TONS of words. 

Many children books are written to expose kids to important concepts such as numbers, letters, colors, and shapes in a fun way. It is a great way to practice these and start associations. 

Reading with children also builds listening, memory, and vocabulary skills. 

Stories can help your child get to know sounds, words and language, and begin  early development of literacy skills. introduce your child to the value of books and stories.

Books can be mirrors or windows. This means that they can reflect experiences similar to the readers’ life like a mirror or they can be a window into the unknown and expose them to something new and exciting. Reading together gives children information to explore and understand the world around them.
