Off the Shelf: Great Books for Year-Round Giving for Kids
Posted Dec. 9, 2024

Warren-Trumbull County Public Library
Are you looking for the perfect gift to give to a child? May we suggest a book?
The Youth Services staff has chosen the titles in the 2024 Great Books for Year-Round Giving for Kids guide from books published over the past year. Each book has been selected for its timeless quality and lasting kid appeal. Below each book cover image includes the title of the book, the writer and/or illustrator, and the age range for which the book is most appropriate.
While we put the annual list out each year in time for holiday shopping, we hope you will refer to it year-round to help you decide which books to buy for birthdays, baby showers, and other occasions.
The guide is a wonderful tool to help you select books that will be read, re-read, and treasured by the children who receive them as gifts at any time of year! Books make great gifts!
Below are highlighted books from each book type category. For the complete list, view 2024 Great Books for Year-Round Giving for Kids as a printable PDF on the library website, or pick up a free paper copy at any W-TCPL location.
