books

Try the library. I borrow books often for the kids, they are about the same age as yours. They have dedicated sections for babies and toddlers. 1 yr old: picture books with lots of colours, peek a boo flaps, shiny mirrors, few words per page. Hardcover type strongly advised as they WILL tear soft copy pages. 3 yr old: books with pictures and more engaging storyline, with characters to follow, e.g. 3 little pigs, hungry caterpillar etc. Soft copies possible but hardcopies may still be better if want to avoid damaging library books.
