19 Dec Giving the gift of reading for Christmas

Giving the gift of reading is a great way to get children into books.

It makes books feel extra-special when they’re wrapped up as a present for Christmas and given with love. We have listed some of the great books that we have reviewed for Christmas gifting to kids.

• If you are not thinking of a book for a child this Christmas, then you should read our story 5 reasons I always get children picture books for Christmas.
• Some years ago we asked readers to tell us the Christmas books they loved as a kid or for their kids. We found lots of people loved getting books for Christmas in fact we found 31 Christmas books kids love to read.
• Gifting children books can be about more than just giving them something to read. These stories with diverse characters can help kids develop empathy.

• Most books given to children are kept and treasured in their ‘home library’ so it is always worthwhile choosing books that are going to read over and over.
• Lastly, books are perfect as stocking fillers too. Some new ones out this year that you might like and that have been recently reviewed especially for the littlies.
