There are many benefits of reading. A bedtime story each night boosts your child's literacy skills while stimulating his/her creativity. Even if your little one wants to read the same book over and over again, this also helps when learning new actions and words.

Some parents start reading as early as one-years-old with their kids. While you might wonder what's the right age to start reading, you also have to contend with which books to choose like "Do You See What I See?" 

Picking the right books usually means it contains sensible and age-appropriate content, while also having high reusability.

And last but not least, there should be important lessons to take away from the books.

Here are the top 11 books that children aged 2 years and below will benefit from reading.
