{Instagram Giveaway} The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ~ Dr. Seuss

We might not have a strict routine at home and the kids go to bed really late on some nights, especially during weekends or holidays. That said, for the past nine years, we've kept something constant and that is... Bedtime Reading.
.
Yup, we are never too busy, too tired or too lazy to pick out a book or two to read before the kids go to bed and while I used to be the storyteller every single time, it's nice to see how the two sisters have shown zest and passion for reading and even taken over the task of reading to the little brother so I can just sit beside and listen.
.
He usually reads books that belonged to the elder ones previously because that is one thing we love about books, right? They can be passed down and they never become outdated. Still, it's nice to get this toddler new books every once in a while to spark his interest and make him curious. Being one who loves to lift the flaps and likes colourful illustrations, he is enjoying his new books - Candy Makes New Friends and Candy is a Good Helper - from @lovingbooksco, an imprint of Asiapac Books Pte Ltd.
.
The first book teaches him to be willing to make new friends, which is apt since he is starting nursery next year, and the second is perfect for the sister to read to him because it talks about how the tabby cat Candy looks after his siblings by preparing milk, bathing, dressing up and singing to them. I enjoy these moments when they are bonding through books and showing such sweet sibling love *Awww* - even though they might be fighting over toys five minutes later.
