- My 3 year old granddaught started pre-school. I love reading books to her. When she loves a book she will hug it and kiss it. Reading to her is a great way to put her for naps and night-night!
Love your lens!

- Gotta have those real books. Although audiobooks have their place and are useful, nothing can replace a nice cuddle while reading to your child with a beautiful children's book.
