By age 1, babies can grab books. Board and cloth books are great options for babies who like to touch things and put everything in their mouths.
Take turns with your toddler. By age 2, toddlers can hold a book and point at the pictures. Let your toddler turn the pages of a board book and respond to her when she points or reacts to the story.
