Books - I love books. My kids rooms are filled with books. We are excellent garage salers with a preference for kids books and my children know I can never say no to bringing a book home.
I love to give books, especially as birthday gifts to friends and family. Books work so well for all age birthday gifts and support literacy in a way that Barbie or monster trucks could never.
Tonight I read my son one of my favourite books, The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. I remember reading it as a child but as an adult, it fills my eyes with tears (understanding? empathy?) and I enjoy it on many more levels.
This is a book I need to start giving at birthday parties - its message is layered but appropriate for all levels - and my new grade-one reader could probably muddle her way through the book which means so could her pals.
