I started reading to both the Wonk Princess and the Wonk Monster when they were newborns. The first book I read to them was "I'll Love You Forever." After that, I moved on to other simple books like "Hello Moon." I found that even though they couldn't follow the story, the cadence of my voice as I read and the pictures both soothed them and helped them get to sleep.
I think that starting at a very early age made them curious about books and I attribute the fact that they were both early readers to that fact.
