First Birthday Books

A shelf of first-birthday gifts for a child turning one — sturdy board books to gum and grab, a birthday classic to grow into, and a couple of lap-time keepsakes about being loved. Pick the one that fits the child and the family. There's a big loud Dr. Seuss birthday book, two cozy birthday-morning stories, a bunny for the seasons, and a warm little truck to beep along with. Any single one of these is a lovely thing to hand a one-year-old. Choose by taste.

Browse it by the child and the family and pick the one that fits. Happy Birthday to You! is the big, loud birthday classic, a grow-into gift that becomes the every-birthday book by four or five. Happy Birthday, Little Pookie and The Birthday Box are pure one-year-old delight right now — a cozy birthday morning and the eternal truth that the box beats the present. Little Blue Truck is the beep-and-moo favorite for a child who loves sounds. I Am a Bunny is the quiet, beautiful seasons keepsake. And Guess How Much I Love You is the lap-time classic about a love too big to measure. Any one of them is a complete gift; between them they cover the loud and the quiet, the right-now and the grow-into.
