When an expecting parent exclaims, "I can t wait, sweet baby, to finally meet you " a delightful, almost magical love affair begins. We call it "Prenatal Tummy Love " Join in, moms and dads, with Momma Moo and Papa Goose, and start reading aloud to your precious babies before they are born, using their own names if you have chosen one. Research shows that reading aloud to your baby is extremely important because it shapes your baby's brain, growing new connections at the amazing rate of seven hundred per second. Our goal is to help moms and dads discover the powerful magic of reading aloud to their babies before they are born, and to continue reading to them after birth.
