Introduce or give a child a book as a gift for birthday, Christmas, New Year, or celebrational occasions, you are giving a child a long lasting gift! One may asks why? Here are some explanations for your reference. 

1. A book is a gift for life - Long after the time has passed, a child will enjoy this gift time and time again. Even as adults we can return to our childhood favourites and pass them down to our own children.

2. Books never go out of fashion- They’re the gifts of Christmas past - crazes that are now passé and boring. Books never go out of fashion or lose their appeal.

3. A book encourages a life-long love of reading- It is the way that book is wrapped up with loving message that makes this book special to treasure. It is a joy as opposite to schoolwork.

4. Books help children relax - Reading clams our mind and create a space of rest and relaxation. Can you remember a time when you are in the world of book where you quietly enjoy it? the sense of peace and quietness. 

5. Books bring the wonder of outside world to them - Through reading books, children expand their understanding of the world, they learn about people, places and events outside their world and experience. They are exposed to different ways of life, ideas and beliefs around the world. 

6. There is so much choice, you can’t fail to disappoint. Whatever a child’s age or interests there is a book for them.  There’s so much choice in the world of book!
