There's something wonderfully thoughtful about gifting a friend (especially a new mom-to-be) with your favorite children's book. But if a book on its own feels as if it's missing something, consider taking the gesture up a notch with one of these inspired gift ideas. We have eight ways to make your favorite little literature-lover's day!
