There is nothing like having a young child crawl up in your lap for story time. The best books of all are those chunky little board books that are just right for chubby hands. The colorful illustrations help a child to make the story her own by encouraging her to “read” the story to you.

Yes kitty, yes kitty, six noisy chicks”

I absolutely love rhyming picture books. Besides writing non-fiction, I also like to write my own rhyming picture books for 3-5 years.
