Suggestions for choosing books
Ask your child to help you choose a book they would like to look at or read; children are more likely to enjoy reading if they have chosen the material themselves. Don't worry too much about finding the 'right' book. The fact that you are having fun and sharing with your child is more important than the content or quality of the book itself. Your child will probably enjoy books that match their interests and hobbies; this might be a good starting point.
Remember that joke books, comics, autobiographies, TV tie-ins and non-fiction are also valuable reading material. Try to give your child access to as wide a range of books as possible, which will help them develop a sense of their likes and dislikes.
