Q: what are the best books to read my baby?

Best Books for baby: Content is not as important as taking the time to sit and read to your baby. As little infants they don't care if it is war & peace or the "how to install a drain manual" - they just want to hear your voice and be by you. Later in the first year, picture books where the two of you can be interactive - "where's the dog, let's point to it, what does doggy say" are great to keep their interest.
