StaceyinLA Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I want to get a really neat hardback book for guests to sign at my dd’s baby shower. Any suggestions for something directed at a baby/child in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 A blank book? Or a story book that everyone signs as a momento? If it is a story book... Time for Bed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three4me Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Maybe a Mother Goose book? We like the one by Scott Gustafson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SebastianCat Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 My DD had Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose for many years until she wore it out. I think it would make a lovely shower gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 A Children's Garden of Verses was a favorite here. I loved reading the poetry to my babies and toddlers. https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Louis-Stevenson/e/B000AQ0JI2/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1519249773&sr=8-1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 There is an awesome one preschoolers about crayons that go on strike. I wish I could remember the name. Each one has a hilarious complaint against the colorer. Each one writes a little letter in their color crayon whining about their lot in life. It is solo funny, and creative. I wish I could remember the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) My baby shower for DS1 was a book shower. Everybody was asked to bring a favorite book from childhood and write an inscription in it. Amazingly, I got zero duplicates! How about the giant board version of "Goodnight Moon"....then let everybody sign it with wishes of Happy Dreams. (I got that and the giant "Hungry, Little Caterpillar" books at the shower. We love all the Boynton books, especially "The Going to Bed Book"...but I think they are all small.

Sneezyone Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 If you hadn’t said story book, I’d recommend “It's Not a Boxâ€. It lends itself to child-led storytelling and there’s lots of space for well-wishers to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I received a very pretty edition of The Complete Tales of Peter Rabbit and Friends at my baby shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks for the suggestions! Sandra Boynton is a favorite, and I have already purchased her a few of those. She is having people bring books to her shower also, which is why I thought it would be kinda neat to have the guest sign-in be a book.

Carol in Cal. Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 "I Love You As Much" is a gorgeous book about mother love. Perfect for a baby shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
