Reading stories with your child is a great way to bond and create shared experiences. It helps your child to develop their imagination, improve language skills and support cognitive development.
The RCT Libraries service allows you and your child to loan books and eBooks which can be downloaded from the library's website. If you become a member of the library, you can check the availability of titles and reserve a copy here.
Each month on the RCT Families website we will recommend some fun stories that you can read with your children.
Here are our top recommendations for January 2025:
