Giving the Gift of a Book

Obviously, as a children's librarian, I'm a huge fan of giving books to children for gifts - holiday gifts, birthday gifts, and just-because gifts. Relatives and friends often know to expect a book when it comes to gift-giving from me. For inspiration on book giving ideas, check out this post on the Mother Reader blog. I love how she pairs a book and a gift that goes so perfectly with it! I've also found similar ideas in Esme Raji Codell's book How to Get Your Child to Love Reading. Enjoy!
