Here's why:
♥One can never have enough books.
♥Everyone in the family can enjoy the gift, especially since the baby present is to celebrate the creation and union of a family.
♥Many books will last forever, to be past down to the next generation.
♥If a family starts reading to baby early, it will become an important part of that child's life; for example, reading books before bedtime.
♥The package (basket) will be used/reused. PC/Green thinking
♥I love to give a sampling of favorite books and they are:
1) Our Family Favorites
2) A Classic Children's Books
3) Interactive Books
4) Books that can be read by a sibling
5) Books that can be drooled, chewed, and whatever-ed on.
I bought extra copies of my children's favorite books for their baby memory boxes to be past down to their children.
Today starts a series of posts where I list my favorite books for book baskets.
