Enter the book-and-toy gift, a staple in my house. I recently spoke to a friend who is an art director for children’s books. He said that when ebooks came on the scene, publishers were afraid that physical children’s books would be the first to disappear. They quickly realized that this fear was unfounded; in addition to parents wanting to separate tablet or screen time from reading, the act of reading a physical book is a unique bonding activity that children were requesting. With that in mind, I’ve searched for books that one could easily pair with a toy in order to compose the perfect analog gift for the children in your life. Note: the prices listed are for just the toy part of each book and toy pairing! Choosing gifts for little ones can be tough, but I hope this has given you a good starting point.
