Books are an excellent resource for children's development. Reading is the most critical skill they can learn. Starting to read at an early age has many benefits and will soon become a favourite activity. Children discover the diverse world with new impressions. During this time, they can learn more about different cultures, expand their vocabulary, curiosity, and imagination and encourage intellectual growth.

How to choose a book for a child?
With the first book, the child enters the literary world and often determines whether he wants to read the next one. Accordingly, the reader should be selected to be most suitable for the child's age and interest. When choosing books for children, some valuable tips will help you. This will make buying the sexiest book more accessible, and your child may also love reading.
An example of that would be age (how appropriate it is for the child's age), how close it is conceptually to the child, and what the child will think about the book (the higher and more important the idea of children's writing, along with the artistic level, the greater its impact on the child). In addition, it should be written in simple language and illustrated to make reading more fun.
