Some more background and why you should consider this or any other children’s book
Why do kids love books so much?
Books create warm emotional bonds between adults and children when they read books together during quiet moments during the day or at bedtime. They help develop basic language skills and profoundly expand vocabulary —much more than any other media. Books are interactive; they demand young ones to think.
Should you read a storybook with your child?
Reading storybooks can also potentially foster an early interest in reading before children reach school age. Most importantly, reading together is a time when parents can spend with their kids doing something they both enjoy and supports educational and personal benefits that can endure for years.
Why does reading foster children’s imagination?
The more children read the better they can build and expand their knowledge. It opens them to new ideas and provides them with an understanding of new things. Reading helps practice the imagination by letting the words describe a specific image while the reader manipulates the picture in the mind.

Martin (author of A Song of Ice and Fire, aka Game of Thrones)
