I don’t think many of my friends or relatives read my blog but, if you do, please look away now!
If I buy someone a Christmas gift there’s probably a 99.9% chance it’ll be a book, especially for the younger humans in my life. So, I thought I’d do a quick post on what books I’m giving as gifts this year, broken down into age categories.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
Younger Readers
Age range of recipients: 2-4 years old
(L-R, top to bottom)
The Snail and the Whale – Julia Donaldson, Axel Scheffler
The Paper Dolls – Julia Donaldson, Rebecca Cobb
Kipper’s Monster – Mick Inkpen
Press Here – Herve Tullet
This Is Not My Hat – Jon Klassen
My favourite out of these has to be This Is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen. I’m not sure I’ve ever read a Jon Klassen book I don’t like!
Confident Readers
Age range of recipients: 7-11
(L-R)
The Eye of the North – Sinéad O’Hart
Attack of the Demon Dinner Ladies – Pamela Butchart
To Wee or Not to Wee – Pamela Butchart
There’s A Werewolf in My Tent – Pamela Butchart
LEGO Star Wars The Visual Dictionary – DK
My favourite of these has to be The Eye of the North. I absolutely love the cover and illustrations inside and I’ll be getting myself a copy of this book very soon!
Adult Readers
Age range of recipients: Adults!
(L-R)
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine – Gail Honeyman
The Last Chance Hotel – Nicki Thornton
Lady Killers – Tori Tefler
My favourite out of these has to be The Last Chance Hotel. It’s a middle-grade book but it has been purchased for a relative who loves middle-grade nearly as much as I do!

Roachie's Reviews 
Love the looks of the 2-4 year old books. Our little one is one and a half and I know she would love The Snail and the Whale or press here. She loves books has a few favorite ones but always good to find new ones. Thanks for posting.

If you’ve never read a Jon Klassen book before I highly recommend them. I’m convinced they’re more for the adults than the children!

Oh nice books! Eleanor Oliphant is a great choice, I loved it!! I have my heart set on a book now that seems a bit similar (I don’t know if it is though) called Needlemouse. It’s a Hedgehog, a HEDGEHOG, sooo cute :-).

Great choices. The Snail and the Whale and The Paper Dolls are favourites here, both wonderful to read aloud with a small person.
