I bought several Childen’s books last weekend. I plan to give them to my niece and nephews for Christmas. I believe that books are wonderful gifts. They are perfect for any occasion. Giving books to young children will help them appreciate books at an early age. It will encourage them to become wide readers and grow up into smart individuals.

You can give a book to a child even before he reaches 1 year old. Kids below one can appreciate colorful cloth books. Some cloth books are perfect for exploration because of the different colors, textures and sounds.  For my son’s 1st birthday I requested close family members to give my son Lamaze cloth books. Now, he is already 7 years old. He loves reading books and his teacher told me that my son likes to spend his free time in school reading books from their classroom shelf.
