Bookstart for babies

The baby Bookstart pack is an ideal way to introduce your child to the world of books. Babies are never too young to enjoy books.

You will receive your child's Bookstart pack from your local health visitor, usually at your child's nine -12 month health check.

The pack contains:

  • canvas shoulder bag
  • two board books
  • Babies Love Books - a leaflet on sharing books written and illustrated by Catherine and Lawrence Anholt
  • Great Books for Babies - a book list that contains some great suggestions for you and your child.
  • Placemat - laminated rhyme sheet

Your child can join and borrow more books from your local library, take part in our Bookstart Book Crawl or Bookstart Rhymetime.
