Choosing a bunny book or gift
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

Why pair up a stuffed animal with a book?
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 to 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, on a rocket ship 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
