StaceyinLA 4,022 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 post Share on other sites
unsinkable 24,080 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 post Share on other sites
three4me 286 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Maybe a Mother Goose book? We like the one by Scott Gustafson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncooks 12,157 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Maybe a Mother Goose book? We like the one by Scott Gustafson. Yes, a beautifully illustrated book of nursery rhymes would be lovely! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SebastianCat 1,550 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 post Share on other sites
FaithManor 30,776 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 post Share on other sites
BigMamaBird 3,075 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton is one of my favorite books to read to my kids, I give it to everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StaceyinLA 4,022 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Storybook for sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FaithManor 30,776 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 post Share on other sites

umsami 32,515 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. Edited February 22, 2018 by umsami Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneezyone 32,743 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 post Share on other sites
whitestavern 2,084 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 post Share on other sites
StaceyinLA 4,022 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carol in Cal. 25,428 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 post Share on other sites
