Excerpt:

Preschoolers enjoy hearing a familiar book, and having it read to them frequently. Their recall of the book's events improve with each reading, and more details are captured by their minds - important stepping stones to higher learning and reasoning skills later in their education. Anyone working with preschoolers can tap into this repetition by using familiar and important children's books to build entire unit studies - covering several subject categories.
