There is no better gift for a young child than a book. It’s a gift that can provide many hours of lasting enjoyment. Recently, I’ve read two books that were just published this year, and they both would make WONDERFUL gifts for a young child - preschool through third grade. I’ve read both to groups of preschool and elementary children, and they loved them! Here they are:

Don’t Be Silly, Mrs. Millie!
Here are some other children’s picture books that I highly recommend. You can click on any of the books to get more information about them.

Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale
Later I will post my recommendations for easy and more difficult chapter books for older children.

These look like good books - I will have to check them out to read them to my preschoolers at school!
Carol:Â They are WONDERFUL books!Â
 I think your preschoolers would love them. I’ve read each of them to the preschool classes at my school.
