365 Days of Reading: Tip #24 - Choose Beautiful Books



Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but children love to look at beautifully designed and illustrated books just as much as we do.

Share with them some aesthetically pleasing Caldecott Award winners, especially aimed at the baby and toddler crowd. You and your little one might also enjoy children's literature featuring real works of art or even some coffee table books showcasing world-class photography.
