Reading is so important for babies brains. Books are also a great add-on to a nighttime or nap routine. We love using board books in our house because they are pretty much indestructible and withstand cleaning.

These books would make an excellent baby shower gift or stocking stuffer for the holidays! One of the best things about books as a gift is they are educational and last a long time. I know we began reading to our daughter when she was in-utero and she still enjoys the same books today, as a one-year-old!

Here are 10 books on cars and things that go for your little one’s bookshelf!

“The eight-day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during the second century B.C. of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to legend Jews had risen up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors in the Maccabean Revolt. Hanukkah, which means “dedication” in Hebrew, begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or December. Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts.” Hanukkah, History.com

Books can be a great way to teach the story of Chanukah to young kids and also make great gifts!
