vouching for "the book with no pictures", but maybe when they are 3-4 yo.

That's when they'll get the most out of it, but babies need to be read to. It helps them a lot, can't be overstated. Take it from me, my kid has severe ADHD but he's a stronger reader than most of his classmates.

ah I'm not disputing that! By all means read to them. I'm just saying that when they are babies and toddlers imho it's better something with some pictures. I think it makes more fun to them as they learn to point to things as well.
