A new dad gets ready to share the love of reading with his baby for the first time.
It's baby's first story time and a new dad is excited to read to his child. He's also a little nervous. Which book should he choose? And what if it doesn't settle the baby to sleep? After bath time, picking out pj's, and the perfect swaddle, it's time to cuddle up to read together. And begins the special journey that only starts when a book is opened. Father and baby are transported to the soothing world of their story, sharing the special love of reading together for the first time. Filled with both tenderness and wonder, This Is the First Book I Will Read to You is the ultimate baby shower gift for book-loving parents and their newest readers.
