It's hard to keep up with the latest toys - give the gift of reading to the children in your life. You'll be creating memories that will last a lifetime.

• What was your favorite book as a child? Find a copy of that very same book for a child - when he's an adult, he will remember that book and want to pass it on to the children in his life. Maybe Little Golden Books?
• Find a book that was published the same year the child was born. When she is older, she will learn to treasure the book for many years to come. [Bestsellers 1900-1999]
• Does he love animals? Look for books about dogs, cats or horses. [Dogs]
• Is she just starting school? Find a pre-primer book like Having Fun with Dick & Jane that you read when you were first in school. [Fun With Pre-Primers]
• Does he love to go to the movies? Find a copy of the book his favorite movie is based on - why not buy a copy for yourself as well? And for younger children, many movies now have book tie-ins, like Finding Nemo and other Disney films. Current & upcoming releases include The Polar Express and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
• Look for books that belong to a part of a series she reads. Maybe she's a fan of Dora the Explorer, Harry Potter, or Little House on the Prairie - find a book to add to her set. [More Series]
• For grandchildren or other related children, find a book in your family's native language to pass along his heritage. Visit Abebooks en Espanol for Spanish book ideas.
• There are many highly collectible children's books at very reasonable prices available on Abebooks. Start a yearly tradition by purchasing a collectible book for the child every year. [Children's Ideas]
