Read Your Heart Out - Kids Edition
15
items This list consists of well loved books we have laying around our home. I give many of these as baby gifts, birthday gifts, and a couple as graduation gifts. I prefer to give board books with a note scripted in them over a card with a gift.
I give this book as gifts a lot. I will even write notes through out the pages with thoughts and scripture about the content. I have given to high school graduates and at baby showers. I have also framed several different pages for nursery decor.
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
This book is another one I give as a gift. Since it was just released late last year it is a fairly new classic.
Always Remember: The Boy, Mole, Fox, Horse
One of my go to books for graduation gifts. I will write a note and stuff some cash in it for them. The book will last longer than a card and they they have the note to look back on.
Oh, the Places You'll Go! (Hardcover)
This classic is in board book to last all the small hands. Perfect book to build confidence in reading with the repeat lines. This book is one I give as a baby shower gift.
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?: 50th Anniversary Edition (Revised edition) (Board Book)
We grew up on Dr Seuss books. Read to them when they are young thenas young readers they get a kick out of the rhyming lines.
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (Large type / large print edition) (Hardcover)
Two perfect board books to give new parents. These are a few of the books we have practically memorized. lol
A Baby's Gift: Goodnight Moon & Runaway Bunny
This is one of the books I can't seem to get rid of. My grands are way past this age but we still sit and read together.
I Love You to the Moon and Back
It is so sweet to see your older grands read this to the younger ones. So many memories from books.
Guess How Much I Love You
Anyone I've seen read this laughs! So if you need to lighten the mood this book is for you. Maybe don't read it a bedtime.
The Wonky Donkey
This is such a fun rhyming book and a good one to include with a baby gift. Because new parents don't know what they don't know about bedtime.
The Going to Bed Book
On a rainy day when you are trying to keep them off the screens this will keep them interacting and talking.
Big Book of Search & Find (Hardcover)
A classic that is more relevant today. This can get some good conversations going with your late elementary student or early middle school.
The Hundred Dresses: Newbery Honor Book
When I think of the “I survived books” I think of my grandson's. They were so hard to find books for but these really got their interest. There are many I sutvived books. The ones I have recommended here are our favs.
I Survived the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, 1941
It is hard for me to think of this as “history” but it is. Now we have kiddos that have no idea what happened. These “I survived” books get their attention and they learn some history. win win
I Survived the Attacks of September 11th, 2001
We live near Joplin and sent help after the tornado so this book has a special meaning to us.
