Building Better Brains: Board Books and Thirty Million Words
Abstract
When our daughter was two, she gnawed half the cover off a board book version of Peggy Rathmann’s Goodnight, Gorilla. To her, it was a book good enough to eat. Our copy—tattered, weathered, gnawed—remains on our bookshelf. To my wife and me, the mangled little thing is a treasured possession.
