Let’s chat gift-worthy books for a minute.

I think that books make the best gifts. Add an inscription and that gift becomes a treasure.

I still have the copy of A Light in the Attic that my Uncle John gave to me- inscription and all- on Christmas in 1987.

This is why I give gifts to my nieces and nephew, and to friends young and old.

Today, I am sharing some gift-worthy books. Our family adores these titles and I hope yours will, too!

Here are 10 Awesome Gift-Worthy Books Your Kids Will Love

Gift-worthy books for children

We have read some incredible books this year. I asked the kids to list their favorites, in attempt to create a top ten list. But booklovers have trouble narrowing down their favorites and so our list is closer to twenty books.

First, I want to start with my favorite books at this moment: Wonder and 365 Days of Wonder

Have you read Wonder with your kiddos?

We absolutely loved the Audible version. I had to use an audiobook because I’ve read Wonder before and I cried the entire time. I needed backup. Thanks, Audible!

(By the way, audiobooks are not cheating. They just help families to read aloud MORE.)

Anyway, soon after reading the book, I recently discovered 365 Days of Wonder Mr. Browne’s Precepts: A Quote Every Day of the Year About Courage, Friendship, Love, and Kindness features a quote a day about kindness, courage, friendship, and love.

I plan to use it daily. It will spark important conversations and it makes for excellent copywork!!

I love it so much that I added it to my 50+ Educational Stocking Stuffers post… because it’s that good.
