Age 0-3   Babies and Toddlers:

	Very young children are attracted by brightly colored pictures of simple objects.
	They are listeners, and respond well to books with simple text and good rhythms.
	Wordless books stimulate them both visually and mentally, and encourage them to create their own stories.
	They are delighted with board books and cloth books, which have the virtue of being practically indestructible.

Nursery School and Kindergarten:

	Mother Goose, nursery stories, and other books depicting familiar objects and experiences are enjoyable to children in this age group.
	These children like listening to slightly complex texts with good rhythm and effective word repetition.
