I did for my daughter as a toddler but she’d ask so many questions while I was reading to her. When she got older she sat down with our cat and a book with pictures and read and showed her the photos. That cat loved it.

You laugh but one time when she was about three years old she asked how mustard was made. So I went into detail explaining there were greens like we ate but a different type than i grew and that we ate and they make a lot of seeds. The seeds are collected and ground into a powder and mixed with vinegar, turmeric to make it yellow, salt and put into jars to be sold. Then she asked how the jar was made. So I explained to her that glass was made from sand that melted over a hot fire and purified and taken to be made into jars with machines at a glass factory. Then she asked how the metal lids were made. I told her but ended the questions before she could ask how the label got made.
