Reading to your child is not only personally rewarding but will help him or her later in life. There are many reports and studies that show reading with your children help them in all kinds of ways, from relationship building to developing critical thinking skills. This is also a great way for you to begin fulfilling your baptism promise of teaching your child about your faith. Below are a few suggestions I have. Some are available in several places for purchase, all are available at local libraries.
Prayers from the Ark, De Gasztold
There are several versions of this book available, some with wonderfully colored illustrations. There is also a version known as Prayers from the Ark and the Creature's Choir. The book is full of prayers from the perspective of the animals on Noah’s Ark.
God’s Paintbrush, Sasso
There are also several other Great Books by the author Sandy Eisenberg Sasso such as Prayer for the Earth, What is God’s Name? and In God’s Name.
Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Lewis
This is the classic children’s tale by the Christian writer C.S. Lewis of redemption. One this one has been read you can go one to C.S. Lewis’ other tales of Narnia.
