I absolutely love giving (and receiving!) books as gifts for
birthdays and the holidays. My bookworm self loves encouraging kids
of all ages to read, especially when I can share some of my
favorite childhood favorites with others. Another good reason books
are awesome gifts? They help keep your spending down.
Check out the slide show of children's books -- from babies up
to teenagers -- that your kids would devour over the holidays.

Babies/Toddlers: Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
Good Night, Gorilla is a children's classic board book. Even if you introduce your babies and toddlers to it, they'll continue reading it through preschool because they can't resist the sneaky shenanigans of the gorilla and his zoo posse. Don't forget to ask your little ones to spot the red balloon on every page. ($10, amazon.com)
