I first encountered Barefoot Books several months ago when my daughter Rachel received The Animal Boogie Book with the singalong CD.   Since then we have regularly had fun dancing to the music while reading the book.

I believe reading to my children is one of the most important things I can do.   Not only does it give them motivation to learn and develop independent reading, good books expose children to the world.  Books help children improve communication skills, explore emotions and exposes them to a number of different characters, cultures and role models.

Barefoot Books recognizes that a book is more than just a book, they are full of beautiful artwork and wonderful stories.  One of my favourite things about the books is that each book developed by Barefoot has both the child's and parent's interest in mind so parents can learn with their children from the books they sha re.

Barefoot produces different categories of books. 

Fun First Steps is a truely wonderful range for toddlers and very young children.

Tell me a story is a range designed for slightly older children to preschool age.

 One World, One Planet is for older children and explores topics such as the environment or different cultures, faiths and believes.
