I enjoyed reading silly rhyming stories to my son, and now at 2.5 he loves them and can tell me all the stories from his memory, too cute to hear him recite nursery rhymes. While they are small it's harder to keep their attention on anything you read, but it's important to do it anyway..no matter how frustrating it is. I kept a lot of hard board books around and short books. Not a lot of words on each page, but just discussed the pictures, etc. I read the same ones over and over. Read whatever you have around you!

The Sandra Boynton books are pretty awesome. They are genuinely funny and fun to read. Any of them are great but I am especially fond of "The Belly Button Book" " But not the Hippopotamus" and "Pajama Time." The "Nutshell Library" is a set of four tiny books by Maurice Sendak that are *awesome.* "Hush Little Baby" by Sylvia Long is a rewrite of the song, with less emphasis on material wealth, lol, but I really like it. "Olivia" is awesome. I am also a big fan of "The Runaway Bunny" another book by Margaret Wise Brown, who wrote Goodnight Moon (in fact, one of the paintings on the wall in the room in "Moon" is from that book.)

You'll need to do some combination of child development and English (with a focus on writing, not lit) or journalism. Double-major if you can. If you can't, I'd go for the major in child dev and minor in English/journalism with as many writing classes as possible. You actually need to know a lot about how to teach children if you are developing educational programs for them, so that's good that that major includes it. Also, when you are looking for a job, they might want to see that you've had some teaching experience with young children, so you either might want to try to get a part-time job doing that while in college or be open to it for a little while after you graduate.

Chicka chicka boom boom is very cool. Something where I can add a beat, tempo, some spice. It keeps my 19 month old interested in the story, or at least mommy's song. Also, we prefer real animals over cartoon animals. It helps to correctly identify animals. Otherwise sometimes a dog or owl is declared a bear and vice-versa. I like reading rhythmic rhyming books.
