Finally, even this young children prefer characters they can relate to, so try and get books either about babies their age, or about animals in similar situations to ones they might encounter themselves.
At 2-3 years old: Children aged two to three need books with (comparatively) strong themes, something that will involve them in the story and keep them reading. A good idea would be to use books involving their favorite characters from tv or games, as well as books that convey some sort of lesson. For instance, something about conduct or potty training work well. Best of all, are books that help to improve their understanding, especially books that teach them more about the alphabet, or include names of shapes and animals.

We need to make the effort to make certain our children delight in the process of learning to read and the opportunities that reading opens up for them in their futures.
