Are you looking for duck books as a gift?
Something about sweet little ducks is associated with babies to me! Trying to decide if it is the right choice for you? Let’s think about it together…
So you want to gift a sweet new baby a book to enjoy but maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by how many choices there are to pick between?
Let’s narrow it down!
Options to think about when picking a book present:
- A topic you know is important to the parents- for example if they are huge hockey fans or lovers of elephants, they will love to share a book about something they are passionate about with their child
- A topic that you enjoy! If the parents know you as the friend who loves all ocean animals, reading a book about fish from you will make them think of you every time
- A book with a welcome message- many baby books have a sweet message welcoming the child to the world, these are also great to write an inscription in the front from you to the baby
- A goodnight book- there are always so many loving options for parents to share with their kids at bedtime
- Something that pairs with the adorable toy or stuffed animal you already picked out

Wondering why you pair up a stuffed animal with a book? BECAUSE IT’S THE BEST GIFT!
- Brings the story to life
- Kids get to hold a 3D version of the character they are looking at in the picture and listening to a story about, it brings a personal connection to what is happening in the text
- Gives child something to hold or play with do with their hands while reading, the younger the child the shorter the attention span to listen to a story so having an associated toy to keep their little hands busy will encourage them to sit and listen to the story
- Can extend the character into imaginary play
- Trust me I have seen first hand how much my kids latch on to a character from a story and having a toy representation allows that character to go everywhere with them like to the park, at a tea party, to the moon, or even to snuggle together in bed.
- Give meaning to a toy by giving them a story and the enjoyable memory of being part of story time with an important adult
