The phrase “the best gift is a book!” sounds simply mocking by modern standards.
Modern children have so many entertainments that they have almost no time for reading. But even if the book turns out to be a rare gift edition, it is unlikely to console them on New Year's Eve.
This is approximately what many parents think on the eve of the New Year holidays, choosing gifts for their children.
We will tell you in what cases you can be sure that a book will become a memorable gift.
Personal example
If children are used to seeing their parents reading fiction rather than social media posts, then there is no doubt about the choice.
And this is also what parents of children who have been taught to read from an early age can do.
Value
Despite their passion for gadgets, many children are interested in trendy literary genres, cartoon characters, and even computer games.
This gift edition will definitely not spoil the child's holiday.
Knight's move
If children are generally indifferent to literature, then a book can be an addition to the gift.
Again, these could be fairy tales about favorite characters, and for older children – encyclopedias or other educational publications.
And finally, remember that only a quality publication can instill a love of reading.
Don't skimp and choose books with light paper, clear and eye-pleasing fonts, and pictures that don't drive you crazy.
