Kids love to read and once they get the hang of sitting with a book for the sheer pleasure of losing themselves in it and losing time, they'll bug you to find them good books. You want to give them books they will cherish even when they are your age. These are books that don't lose their magic because their stories never get old. The timeless appeal of all good children's books--great storytelling and characters are what make a kid's desert island library collection one of the most precious gifts and heirlooms one can hand down to friends, family, school or even strangers.
