Books Are for Reading by Suzy Becker Baby-3 16 pages Random House January 2009 Board book     Finally there’s answer to the question of what to do about your young child’s insatiable desire to nibble on the corner of his or her favorite board book. The answer could not come in a more charming package than the new board book Books Are for Reading. In it, young readers will learn what should and should not be placed in their mouths - specifically, crayons are for writing (not biting), feet are for stomping (not chomping). and shoes do not belong nestled in one’s mouth. The simple text and sweet illustrations will make this a childhood favorite to be read over and over and over again. The good news is that the lesson can be mastered, and the even better news is that as they work to accomplish this goal, the book’s rubber corners will hold up to even the most avid book chewers.     web reviews   Lori West/2009 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
