But sometimes you just want to give a gift book and you may not be sure what the recipient enjoys. This is when it is time to bring out the impressive kid gift books. These books are larger in size, stunning in illustrations and look quite substantial when sitting under the tree. A nice way to bridge the gap between a cool present and, let's face it, a book which rarely gets the "ooh" "ah" factor it deserves!
If you click on the images you will taken to Amazon where a portion of each purchase will go back to support this blog at no cost to you. Thank you for your support!
Guinness World Records 2016
This is the one book that will be manhandled over and over again. Between the outrageous and sometimes weird photos, the litany of records and the ability to pour over it for hours your kids cannot help but be drawn to this one.
Guinness World Records 2016 Gamer's Edition
Of course no collection would be complete without the Gamer's Edition. This one has a whole section on Minecraft for the obsessed, and gives kids records in their own game playing to aspire to. Just like the original but with video games ... how can the holidays get any better?
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by
This version of the classic story has just been released for the 150 year anniversary and the illustrations by Anna Bond are gorgeous and whimsical. I dare any child not to fall in love with this new version.
The 50 States: Explore the U.S.A with 50 fact-filled maps! by
geography, this book is a colorful and delightful gift that shares plenty of facts and trivia to keep a kid occupied for hours. I love having these books around as questions come up about places where our family resides or where we plan on going on vacation and we can quickly pull out these guides. We reference these on a regular basis and this one is easy to navigate and incredibly appealing. If you are giving this to someone who lives far away, why not bookmark your own town?
The Puffin in Bloom Collection
This collection features Anne of Green Gables, Heidi, Little Women, and A Little Princess and uses the same illustrator, Anna Bond, as the Alice in Wonderland edition above. I am a bit obsessed with these reproductions by Riffle Paper Co, but they are so impressive that any girl in your life will pour over the beautiful and alluring cover designs and be enchanted.
Star Wars The Adventures of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight by
Asterix and The Missing Scroll (At Home with) by
Ok, having gone to a French school, I had to include the new Asterix. If you are shopping for kids who love comics, good guffaws and history, Asterix is just the thing. A new writing and illustrating team has taken over the brand and this is the second of their new releases. Get some new readers invested in this Gallic duo!
