First of all, you should choose picture books according to your child’s interests. For example, if your child likes bunnies, you can choose picture books with bunnies as the main characters.

In addition, you should choose according to the age of your baby. For babies under 2 years old, parents are usually advised to choose picture books with fewer words, more pictures and bright colors.
