12 Books To Read Your Baby Neopet This Holiday Season
Brought to by the Neopian Book Award Association The holiday season is upon us, and there is no better gift for your Baby Neopet than the gift of knowledge. Science shows that it’s never too early to start reading--in fact, Neopets who have their owners read to them at an early age have a stronger vocabulary in their early years and go on to have a higher intelligence later on in life. Many Brightvale scholars link their love of learning to reading books in their earliest years. We at the Neopian Book Award Association have compiled a list of age-appropriate books for our youngest readers. We made sure to cover a variety of age groups, represent as many species as possible, and have a mix of stories with books aimed at learning and promoting growth. We also took price into consideration and omitted any titles with values over 500,000. “My hope is to inspire a new generation of Neopets to fall in love with reading,” says Armin Beaucoup, Neopian Book Association President. “Books introduce us to new people, new places, and new ideas. They broaden our horizons and teach us things we would not otherwise imagine. Baby Neopets have minds akin to blank canvas. How they take shape depends on how we paint them. Reading is the best way to cultivate a deep, rich, and expressive canvas with our Babies. It's with this in mind that we present our recommendations.” 1.
