ReadingRockets.org Offers Annual "Books as Gifts" Guide

The new ReadingRockets.org "Books as Gifts" guide is for any adult who loves the idea of buying children books, but hates the prospect of making a bad choice.

Published for the holidays, but useful all year long, the list was created — not by a publisher's or bookstore marketing department — but by a children's literature expert whose only criteria is the quality of the story. The list is a delightful range of nonfiction and fiction books that are so appealing that children will want to read them again and again.

Designed to be printed as a one-sheet to tuck inside a pocket for easy reference, the list is also online with links to Amazon for shopping convenience.

Happy shopping!
