Children's Books for a Baby Shower Gift

I went to a Baby Shower the other day (for two Moms at the same time, thus, the two baskets) and since I was feeling squirrely, I wanted to give them Children's Books instead of items on the registry.  As a teacher, I have learned how vitally important it is for parents to read to their children... so I only felt it appropriate to encourage the acts by putting books in the hands of parents themselves.

And in true English teacher form, I included a small poem in the card.  It reads:

"It's good to read to children,

This much we know is true.

So here's a basket full of classics

For Baby, Daddy, and You!"

It just felt right :)
