Introduction
Introducing books at early age has significant effect on babies development. At the same time, selecting age-appropriate books helps the child to get more interest in reading. We can introduce any book even without considering the age appropriate list. But choosing the right books improves concentration and bonding more towards reading rather than overwhelmed.
Come, lets have a look at the list of age appropriate books for kids from the ocean of available books in market .
