I have to admit that I am quite a kiasu mom (even though I have told myself countless times that I will not be one). Guess it is had to live up to them. But, I guess there is no harm in starting young when it comes to cultivating reading habits, especially when it comes to reading Chinese. I have to admit, when it comes to Chinese books, the last time I read was when I was 16 (Lol, managed to force myself to read one recently). Baby just have to grow less sleepy and we can start flipping books for him...hehe...so he doesn't grow up like me :P
For mothers who are also keen to start your children's reading journey, you may check out Under the Moonlight. You can either get books based on themes that suit your children's interest or purchase individual book titles. For budget Mamas, you can also check out the sales and defect section for cheaper books. :)
Recently, Under the Moonlight launched book bundles gift sets as presents for baby full month or birthdays. You can include even a personalised message or a gift wrap upon request. For my gift bundle, it came in a box and I have to say it is very cute. The books I received were suitable for the baby from 0-12 months. Generally, we start off with the black-and-white books before moving on to the coloured books and then books with more difficult words. The gift bundle option is not available on their website yet but you can email [email protected] or contact them via instagram (@underthemoonlight.sg) to find out more!
For those who sees this post early, Under the Moonlight is now currently having a month-long promotion to celebrate their third year anniversary in October. For 1 to 4 October, there will be a 20% discount, thereafter there will be a 10% storewide discount untill 31 Oct. In addition, there will also be a giveaway of 3 sets of felt busy book, play mat and sensory play set for 3 lucky readers. For every $10 spent, you will get a chance! Seems like a pretty good deal if you ask me.
