My nearly 5-year-old has discovered books this month. He's always liked books and readig time has ben fun and special, but he really loves books now. The boy wants to look at books all the time. I think it has to do with the connection between learning his letters and basic words in preschool and that these words mean things. My mom calls it phonemic awareness--the idea that letters and words have meaning. With that, I've found that many of my daughter's favorite books when she was that age just aren't that interesting to him. Here's a list of great pre-kindergarten boy books.
