Reading to babies is important - it provides cuddle time with caregivers, helps expose baby to new vocabulary and maybe, just maybe, encourages them to sit still for a few minutes. (But maybe that's just wishful thinking)
Good Books for babies have engaging pictures, fun stories and are quick enough to pass the wiggle test. Great books for babies are all of the above, and make the parents laugh.
