The Nurturing Nest Family Child Care & Preschool February 2026 Reading   The following books complement topics and concepts that I will be introducing this month. Choose some books to use with your child at home. Read the books frequently to your child to encourage literacy skills. Reading to children at a young age will encourage them to become good readers themselves later on. Remember, a positive attitude toward reading is contagious!   Llama Llama Misses Mama by Anna Dewdney What Will Hatch by Jennifer Ward Home by Britta Teckentrup Mister Seahorse by Eric Carle Puppy's Visit by Chris Lensch National Geographic Kids: Baby Animals by Marfe Ferguson Delano Babies on the Go by Linda Ashman Animal Babies by Harry McNaught The Lion and the Beetle by Chris Lensch Baby on Board: How Animals Carry Their Young by Marianna Berkes Chameleon's Colors by Chisato Tashiro Come Along, Daisy! by Jane Simmons What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? by Steve Jenkins Welcome Home, Bear: A Book of Animal Habitats by Il Sung Na Bears and Their Cubs by Linda Tagliaferro The Littlest Yak by Lu Fraser Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell The Three Little Pigs by Mei Matsuoka A Brave Bear by Sean Taylor Bear's New Friend by Karma Wilson    Copyright - The Nurturing Nest All Rights Reserved
