As a toddler who just celebrated my second birthday yesterday (hint hint..:-D), I have come to realise of how critical the development of a child’s reading habit can be these days! Getting the right book at the right age is as important as mommies choosing that perfect complimenting lipstick or daddies picking out that correct matching tie before they go out!

No doubt in this day and age, we have other forms of media like the Internet and TVs that also provide rich sources of knowledge, but after a while, they can prove to be quite a sore to the eyes and also induce boredom too. I mean, how often can a child ‘poke’ each other on Facebook, or sit through countless repeats of the Hot Dog Dance, right? At the end of the day, a good old-fashioned book (regardless of its many new rich variants of pop-ups, glitters, musically-chimed, etc.) is what every child needs!

The Little Red Reading Nook is one such place where you can find a wide variety of good children’s books in the comfort of your own home. The books here are also very competitively priced and is complete with simple yet comprehensive reviews for you to consider before you make your choice!

Believe you me, with sites like the Little Red Reading Nook, toddlers like me would never again be denied access to such wonderful books, and my precious time would be spent beneficially reading books filled with knowledge at my reading level, instead of being thrown in the ‘deep-end of the pool’ with those huge sheets of carbon adults like to read everyday. Sigh.

I had almost given up hope when I read that the Little Red Reading Nook had recently undergone a beautiful makeover and is organising its very FIRST ever children’s book give-away contest! Exactly what I need to develop my young reading brain cells! Seriously! Hee!

The Grand Prize is  Maisy’s Home & Garden Pop-up & Play Book (selling at major bookstores at RM 79.90). There will also be a Special BONUS prize in the form of a Children’s Book Hamper if over 100 entries are received for this giveaway. Last but not least, the best blog entry will receive a Hello Kitty Mystery Gift Hamper sponsored by Huiwearn Kids Store.
