There are books that are timeless and are read with passion by each generation. If you are looking for a gift for your child to strengthen his interest in reading books, why not give them a classic book for children as a present. Many of these books would be interesting even for adults if they haven’t read them when they were small kids. We recommend the following children’s books that would be a great gift idea for a child, regardless of the age or the present occasion:
Pinocchio
The book was written in the 18th century by the great writer Carlo Collodi. It’s about the adventures of boy-puppet Pinocchio and his father – a poor carpenter named Geppetto. This work has been an inspiration for many stage plays, cartoons, films and still arouses the interest and the excitement of the kids today.
Pippi Longstocking
This book was my favorite children’s book from a very early age and I continued reading it hundreds of times even when I was older. Pippi still serves as my inspiration to this present day. The adventures of this little self-confident and freedom-loving girl are quite entertaining and could help for the development of the imagination of your own child.
The Little prince
Rated one of the best classic children’s books, The Little Prince would be the perfect gift not only for children, but also for many grown-ups. It contains many hidden truths about life and beautiful stories. The Little Prince is a little boy who meets people from different planets, but they actually represent different types of people here on earth – with their views about life, fears and misconceptions. From this book, your children can understand what love and true friendship is – as seen and felt by the author – the great Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh is the first volume of a series of books about the adventures of teddy Winnie and his friends. In this classical masterpiece a lot of wisdom is embedded in the form of short stories about the lives and experiences of the bear, the foal, the rabbit, the tiger and many other characters who live as a small community in the forest.
Robinson Crusoe
“Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe is a timeless classic and an exceptional gift for children, inspiring adventure and resilience. The story follows the thrilling journey of Robinson Crusoe, a shipwreck survivor who must use his wits and resourcefulness to survive alone on a deserted island. Packed with adventure, challenges, and moments of triumph, the book introduces young readers to themes of self-reliance, perseverance, and the human spirit’s ability to adapt in the face of adversity.
Why Classical Book gifts are useful for children
Classical books can be great gifts for children because they’re more than just entertaining – they teach important life lessons and spark creativity and curiosity. These stories have stood the test of time, introducing kids to big ideas like bravery, kindness, and perseverance, all while taking them on exciting adventures. They help kids improve their vocabulary, stretch their imaginations, and dive in characters and worlds that are both relatable and inspiring. Plus, giving a classic book is like sharing a piece of history and culture – something they can treasure for years to come. Some children’s books are just as exciting and enjoyable for adults as they are for kids.
