Thanks NetGalley for the preview!

This book is a gem-immediately added it to my baby registry! I love the journal aspect to track favorite books and how reading interests change as the child grows. I also appreciate the periodic check in's about what the child is like in general. Definitely a gift I will be buying for baby showers!

LOVED IT! Born to Read by L.J. Tracosas is a reading log, journal, and keepsake at the same time. In this fun and colorful book, parents and guardians get to record all the books they read (and re-read) with their children since they were a newborn up to age 5!

The perfect guide to raising a little bookworm and a child that will get to love reading (hopefully as much as their parent/guardian does!) as this book also offers book recommendations (diverse books included!) depending on which stage of their life they're at. Keep an eye out for all the helpful tips and hints, too!

Born to Read also includes fun sections to record interviews with your child on their favorite books and guest-reader entries, which will make it a great gift to give back to them once they're older!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

My New Favourite Baby Shower Gift! This gorgeous, bright journal can help you document yours and your baby's reading journal in a fun and nurturing way. The science around reading to children from the earliest possible age is prolific and having an exciting way to hit your reading goals will support an emerging reading journey! I love the bold colorful graphics and the hints, tips and reading lists sprinkled throughout. The perfect book for any parent or parent to be.

I LOVE this!!! Not only is the reading log a wonderful idea, but all of the supplemental prompts (guest reader entries, child interviews, semi-annual reflections) will make this a treasured keepsake.

The tips and information about developing language and reading skills are useful and presented very accessibly. The book recommendations are spot-on too. I saw a lots of classroom-tested, kid-approved favorites on their lists.

This is going to be part of every single baby shower gift I give from now on--every parent should have this wonderful book!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

Born to Read is an adorable journal to log the books your child reads from age 0-5. It gives tips on books, content, and level for each year. I loved the book suggestions and space for notes. The layout is fun with vibrant colors, but I wish there were more pictures. Parents will love looking back on their child's reading journey! This would be a great gift for new parents who love reading.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.
