My parents read me  Eric Carle Board Books  when i was a child. they not only helpd me but they help my child. I am an avid reader and my child is beging to read also. she loves the colors and the pictures. Even today my child sat me down and said mommy please read me this book and i did 3 times. I love the fact that my child is asking me to read her books. all children will love Eric Carle Board Books. no matter if they are 2,5 or 10 years old your children will love these books so read to your children find the time. at night or in the morning at dinner or insted of watching tv or a movie...
