[EmilyMumsnet]

Every parent loves to snuggle up with the kids and a good book - but a strong case of the fidgets can often bring a reading session to a (literal) screeching halt.

This week we're asking you for your top tips for reading with babies and toddlers. What do they enjoy? What do you enjoy about the experience?

Baby Campbell's brand new series of finger trail books are the perfect interactive reads for curious children, designed for ages six months and up, each page has finger trails cut in, which follow the story across the page and there are lots of flaps to lift.

Share your tips and you'll be in the running to win a year's supply of adult books and a year's supply of children's books, courtesy of Baby Campbell. You can choose 48 books from a selection of titles on the Pan Macmillan website, up to the value of £300.

This competition is now closed. The winner will be contacted shortly

Don't limit their diet to fiction/ stories, include poetry and simple non fiction. My DS loves information texts, especially books about things he has some awareness of e.g seasons, growing plants... He also loves nonsense poems that play on words eg Spike Milligan's Ning Nang Nong.

Finally, select a range of good quality books then let them choose what to read. There is nothing wrong with reading the same book lots of time, although this can be painful for you.

We love using sock puppets to act it out as we are reading. It is also lots of fun to make them beforehand :)

let them choose the book :)
