Books for Babies

Hi everyone! Is there anyone else out there who can’t believe we are well into September? The summer flew by faster than ever this year.

The other day I received an invitation to a baby shower, and in the invitation was card that asked the guests to bring a book instead of a traditional baby shower gift. I had seen a post on Twitter a week or two before I got the invitation, showing a baby shower invitation with the same request, so I guess this has become a thing. And I am not complaining! On the contrary, there are few things in life that I enjoy more than choosing books for others, especially children’s books. Here are some books I pooled for my options, even though I knew I would have to narrow it down:

Beatrix Potter stories

There are many, many other options, including The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, The Snowy Day, and of course, Dr Seuss. Also, a lot of these books are not only available in paperback, but also in hard cover for a more formal gift, or as board books, more appropriate for babies.

In the end, my husband chose Curious George, as they  were favorites from his childhood, and my selection was Goodnight Moon, because those bright colors will catch the eye of a little one, and every new parent needs a helping hand when getting their baby to sleep!

If you want to give books for a special occasion (or even for no reason at all), and are in need of suggestions, I’d love to help you out! Just reply to this post and I’ll do my best to provide some appropriate titles.
