One of the most common requests I get for literary articles is rounding up some fun book gifts for kids. We’ve got babies covered well and we’ve got teens and adults covered. But somehow children seem to be overlooked even though some of them are the biggest (little) bookworms one can imagine.
Now is the time to highlight some great book goods for kids. There are some beloved characters and franchises represented, but for the most part, these are the types of merchandise – t-shirts, book plates, etc. – that are perfect for every young reader in your life.
