The ladybird book is great for those children who love to hunt for a microscopic ladybird in a big page of fun farm cartoon animals, I just can not fault the book.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005096501831595920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977346207935034011.post-43784970491052255512012-09-07T14:51:30.539-07:002012-09-07T14:51:30.539-07:00All the Julia Donaldson books are good, my 18 mont...All the Julia Donaldson books are good, my 18 month old and 5 year old both love them.

It's the only time my husband can sit is when I am reading. <br />I honestly believe that reading to a child whatever their difficulties is so important, it stimulates them, it is relaxing, a chance to cuddle up with mum and feel safe. I have to say as a physically disabled child I never really got into reading, really because I found sitting up anywhere for too long really painful and then trying to hold a book in lobster hands difficult , technology makes reading easier for me these days. Enjoy the books they really are so much better than in our day!

I am a disabled parent too and my youngest daughter is disabled as well so reading to her is something I can do and enjoy. She has severe learning difficulties meaning she operates on the level of an 18m month - 2 year old (she is 9) but when I read to her she will happily sit and look at the books (while trying to grab them!) so she must get something from it.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestionsSleepless in Newcastlehttp://www.keithaddison.co.uk/sleeplessinnewcastlenoreply@blogger.com
