Why read it?

Parents and older siblings will join me in identifying with the sleepy-eyed family members shown here, while toddlers will cheer on the wide-eyed baby.

Parent readers can only hope their little one isn’t giggling too hard to follow suit.

From Nancy's list on sharing laughs with toddlers.
