Books, world book day and reading

Happy World Book Day 2014


I love books and want to help my boys to love them too. I remember as a child going to get new books was one of the highlights. I hope my children feel the same way and I am starting lots of projects to encourage this behaviour.

This year I made my two boys a book each. As they are still very small this was ideal. Each page had a photograph of them with one line of text which I made up. For my eldest son I chose to write about the things he can do now he´s two as there have been several changes in his life recentley and I hope this will help him to see that he is growing and able to do so much more. For the baby, it was simply a picture book of his first months within our family.

I will give my boys a book each year on WorldBook Day (as well as other times of the year) in various formats and hope they look forward to this day. Someday I´m sure they will see hard copies of books and think it strange but I intend to keep passing my love of books onto my children.

COMPETITION - World Book Day

It's competition time again here at Baby Steps to Independence.

This year World Book Day is on 7th March and as we are soooo fond of books we wanted to share a few with our readers.

Our little guy loves books so much that we are often sick of reading them by the end of the day. He enjoys hearing the same book several times in a row as he learns to predict and memorise the stories. We are giving away three farmyard tales: The Hungry Donkey, The Naughty Sheep and The Grumpy Goat.

For your chance to win simply let us know your little peoples favorite book by leaving a comment on this post. As always if you're our fan on Facebook you will automatically get a second entry.

The Winner will be announced on World Book Day so be sure to check back to see who won. Good Luck and happy reading.
