I will probably buy my niece a copy of Pete The Cat, The Gruffalo and the Curious George Treasury for Christmas.

Yes, they are my favourite things to give! I just gave my sister, who is 23 weeks pregnant, our favourite Caroline Jane Chuch books.

Yes books are timeless gifts. Love giving away and receiving books as gifts.

Yes! Absolutely - my favorite gift to give mamas-to-be and little ones. I was an English major in college and am a writer, so nobody's surprised that I've taken up the post of resident book-giver.

Yup! My niece and nephews are old enough now where when I ask what they want I allow one fun toy item and one education item.

Yup all the time! We always get at least one book for Christmas from my parents. Now that I'm a children's librarian I know how important books are from the start, so I love giving books as shower/birthday/Christmas gifts. I actually gave a board book to DH's cousin as a shower gift and she told me I was the only person to give her a book...I couldn't believe it because it is definitely my go-to gift!

Absolutely! In particular I get books for those children who seem to have everything already. I feel like most toys I'd buy would be a duplicate of something they have, but I can usually hit on a title they don't own.

yes definitely! i usually give a book as part of a gift for all birthday parties we go to. And I got Charlie and Olive each a Christmas book, but I couldn't wait until then to open it!

I love giving (and hey, receiving), books as gifts! You can never go wrong with a book.

Yes, always when they are too young to "know!" I think books are a great gift!
