Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 288919728X
Category : Children's books
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Looking at and listening to picture and story books is a ubiquitous activity, frequently enjoyed by many young children and their parents.

Our hope is that this Research Topic/eBook will be useful for researchers as well as educational practitioners and parents who are interested in optimizing children’s learning.
