It’s fun to see how excited the youngsters become when it’s Book Fair Time at school. Yesterday I was substitute teaching and took children to the area in the library where the books were displayed.
I didn’t see any books relating to Alzheimer’s or forgetfulness (like The Graduation of Jake Moon, for instance) but I didn’t have time (I was supervising children) to look through all the books. However, often the picture books your youngsters bring home will entertain your Alzheimer’s family member.
- Books that remind them of childhood
- Books about familiar places
- Books about daily activities
- Books with colorful pictures
- Books with simple pictures
