We have all been there, scratching our heads at a registry list trying to figure out what to give the expectant parents. Or worse no registry, and you have no clue where to start. If you are hitting a roadblock with the baby registry, go off the path and grab a gift card and children’s book. Gasp!! You heard me. I said gift card. Gift cards to stores that a new momma will frequent are invaluable, and you can tuck it inside a classic children’s book. Or pick out a gift from the registry and use the book as a card. It will be fun for the little one to read as they go through life. Here some titles that everyone will fall in love with or love again.
Corduroy
The charming story of a teddy bear named Corduroy’s overnight escapades while being locked in a department store has endured the test of time since 1976. Purchase on Amazon.

Touching on everything from friendship to the anticipation of the changing seasons to the miracles of life and death, Charlotte’s Web has been loved by readers since E.B. White wrote it in 1952. Purchase on Amazon.
