Welcome to the world little one! You have so much to learn and so much time to grow into whoever you want to be. What better way to get your little one immersed and inspired from a young age through the magic of reading?

Research shows that it's never too soon to start reading to your child. Parents.com reports that reading to your newborn exposes them to the sound of your voice, which is a soothing experience, encourages them to read on their own, boosts brain power and introduces them to emotion.

We understand that getting out and finding books when you have a newborn can be a little bit tricky and this is where Bookabees wants to help. We deliver personalised boxes of books to your doorstep each and every month, it's like having your own personal librarian!

To get you started we've rounded up our favourite books for 1 year olds, all the books featured are available from Bookabees. So if you haven't read them yet, what's stopping you!
