Young kids often go through several books a day. How do we feed their hunger for reading?
Here are our Top 5 books for your Under Five!
It is a very busy day at Peppa and George's playgroup, but they have a very special visitor coming in the afternoon. Miss Rabbit is going to teach the children how to calm down and relax with yoga.
Young readers love learning all the different positions.

This is not a book - it's a laptop, a pair of hands to clap, a toolbox! Each spread of this book is actually something else entirely, challenging young readers to see things quite differently!
Turning the page and finding a full-sized image of piano keys will invite children to swing the book on its side for imaginative play; turning the page again to find a monster with its mouth wide open will prompt children to use the book to chomp everything around them! The result stretches beyond the pages of this book, prompting readers to think creatively about other objects in their daily lives.

I love all the children’s books suggested in this article especially Peppa Pig. I would also recommend that you add Ben & Holly to this list. It is by the Peppa Pig publishers and a wonderful read for children’s under 5.
