Helping children have a love of books and reading can be part of a gift-giving process. However, choosing a book to give as a gift can be difficult. Realize that some children's literature has and will be around for a long time because it has been enjoyed by children. Ask librarians, teachers and bookstore clerks what children are reading and which authors are children's favorite authors. Select good literature.
Extraordinary books are available to choose for gift-giving.
Try to choose the best books by the best authors. Illustrations should correspond to the words on the page. Photographs should be clear and realistic. Many books today have fascinating cutaway colored diagrams that are well labeled, which give great explanations of how things work. Try to match story line to the child.
