Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about books for children…
Do you buy books as gifts for children – either your own or those of friends or family? Would you buy books for all children, or only children who are already practiced readers?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
I don’t have any children of my own, but do have young children in the family whom I do buy books for. I don’t give books as gifts to everyone, though I wouldn’t hesitate if I found one I think they’d like.
Over the past few birthdays and Christmas’ I’ve started buying gifts as presents for my cousin, Hannah. She turns 7 this week, and I’ve already picked out two books for her:
- Gail Carson Levine – Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand
- Kelly McKain – The Fairy House: Fairy Friends
I also picked out some new picture books for my cousin’s daughter, Kaitlyn, whose birthday is coming up soon. She does enjoy her books; she may just give her mother and I a run for our money in a few years.
- Eva Montanari – Witches and Fairies
- Ellie Patterson – The Tail of the Whale
- Lucy M George – The Snow Queen

Mondays: What's up?
I think it is important to foster a love of books and reading at a very early age. Here's mine:

Susan, I totally agree! It is never too soon to try to instill a love of reading into a child, as I mention in my POST
I try to give books. Here is mine
I, too, love to encourage others--especially children--into reading. It is a lifetime enjoyment and provides excellent insight and knowledge about the world! The rest of my response is here.

It's been a while since I participated. Here's my answer http://inthesound.us/bookheart/?p=433
I think its difficult to buy books for some people. I think you have to really know a person in order to buy them books that they will like. For that reason, books are my most frequently given gifts, but when it's someone close to me - I think books make wonderful gifts for all ages.
I'm a little late this week. . .
