Read for Life has created a new booklet of children's play games and songs that we give to new parents in Tulare County. It is a professionally designed and produced book that parents will cherish and keep for years.  If you would like to donate to this project and receive a copy of Baby's First Song Book for yourself, click here.

 

Read for Life gives away many children's books. In the books for babies program, we give a book to expectant parents along with information about the importance of reading aloud to babies and young children.

  • Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. This simple, calming story will become a family bedtime ritual,

  • Is Your Mama a Llama? by Deborah Guarino. Children love to laugh at the baby llama who asks if everyone's mother is like his.

  • Read to your Bunny by Rosemary Wells. A loving tribute to the joys of reading with someone.

  • My Friends/Mis Amigos by Taro Gomi. A child tells of all the things she has learned from her animal friends.

Read for Life Development Cards tell how babies develop from birth to age 5 and suggest good books to read with children. Click here to see these cards.
