SNUGGLE WUGGLE
Author: Jonathon London
Publisher/Manufacturer: Harcourt
There are so many benefits to reading aloud to your child, starting from birth, but certainly one of the best is the bonding time it provides. Snuggle Wuggle is all about bonding---each set of pages tells how a different animal "hugs." The monkey, for example, hugs while it "swing-a-lings" and the puppy hugs with a "Fuzzy nuzzle fuzzy nuzzle." There are other reasons this book is particularly suited to young babies. It has simple, prominent images, in the center of each all-white page, such as a mother panda and her baby. This lets young eyes focus and enjoy. Babies younger than a year won't appreciate complicated scenarios or tiny little cartoon sketches. And the noises that you make while you read the book are pleasurable to baby ears, whether you're describing the bat hug ("topsy-turvey") or the kangaroo ("pouchety boing"). Last, some parents have a hard time coming up with ways to interact with the baby that feel comfortable. This book spells them out---you just "hug" like the animals in the book, and you can't help but loosening up.
