Basket of Books for a Baby Gift

What baby can resist touching the shiny pages of a new board book; what parent can resist cuddling a baby while reading. It is a win- win all the way around. Books are the best gift. Baby never has enough books; old favorites and duplicatescan be put in the bathroom, on the changing table, near the high chair, in the back of the car, at Grandma's houseand , of course, in Mom's diaper bag.

Books make the perfect baby gift because they are always the right size and color. Just be sure that you find age appropriate books if you want them to be used right away. Sometimes, it is fun to gift a baby abook appropriate for an older child and let this book be a special reminder to a child as he gets older of your love. Books can be signed with special messages to add meaning. A good book is well loved and never forgotten.

Books for infants up to two years old should be a board bookss o that when they biteon the cover or drool on it,the bookwill retain its shape. Baby books need to have beautiful illustrations to capture baby's attention . Each page should have only a few words or lines. These wordscould be rhymes or repetition of the key words so that the baby can follow the story.

We have gathered ten very popular baby books into a special book set. They include Good Night Moon, Guess How Much I Love You, Pat the Bunny, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Where Is Baby's Belly Button to name a few. We have gathered five other well loved baby books and tucked them into a cellophane wrapped gift basket of books. These books include Runaway Bunny, Hippos Go Beserk, Olivia, GoodNight Gorilla, and Brown Bear Brown Bear.

My 7 year grandaughter"s favorite baby books when shewastwo were the Llama, Llama series. I thought that the Llama, Llama Misses Mama was her favorite, but she told me she liked Llama Llama Holiday Drama best. Of course, that was the book I didn't buy for the website ;s for a big brother or sister gift;so now I have to buy this one in additional to Llama, Llama Mad at Mama and Llama,Llama Red Pajamas. With grandchildren just like children, you can never be completely right. The other books we included for the big brother and sister were Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Day and Where the Wild Things Were. My grand daughter assured me that these would be perfect. How can you go wrong when you have the advice of a seven year old.
