It's our desires to let Bobo read more, since I haven't done that enough myself :(
Like most Finnish kids, Bobo loves Muumi World, Micky and Friends, Winne the Pooh, Maisy the Mouse and Hucle Cat and Lowly Worm (Mato Matala in Finnish) . Sometime I am amazed how creative the books are! They teach kids about almost every subject in the life, such as colors, shapes, numbers, words, objects, daily life activities, religious, scientific, natures and so on. I always believe it's the best way to learn by combing with books and real life. You can see how excited kids are, when they are reading something they love! It's also important to show your emotions (happiness, proud...) to kids once they have achieved something.
Bobo loves Muumi puzzle books, though she cannot yet finish the whole jigsaw on her own. One day we were in the book store, she pointed me those bigger puzzle games and said, "these are not too difficult to Anniina" :-P heheeee.
Recently, we have been reading a lot about Maisy the Mouse. Interactive books, you can drag, you can rotate. It is absolutely fun!
Check this book out! I bought it from a book sale... It's about Maisy's home, the whole book has only 2 pages which makes up 3 rooms of Maisy's house; the kitchens, the bath room and the bed room. You can tight the front and back covers to build a 360 degree room space. There are additional small paper objects, like plates, towel, clothes etc you can just put into the book slots. It's like a doll house but made of paper. You can play it connecting with daily life, isn't it a wonderful book?
Bobo seems to think Muumis should live there too.
