Customer Reviews

What a fun book!

This is an adorable story about two "Goodparents" agonizing over what to get their son for a present. They make guesses based on hints from their son. My three year old loves to squeal "no!" every time the guess is incorrect. I like reading it to her because it's very easy to become animated while doing so.

A gift for big and small

I like this book so very much, with its warm and beautiful message of love. Specially in these hard times. The story and the illustrations are simply wonderful.

A true gift for kids and parents alike

Great book about what really matters. Time, affection, guidance,etc are the real values that can't be replaced by all the toys and trinkets in the world!Should be required reading for parents!

Thought provoking

Thoughtful and insightful writing. The message is loud and clearto parents as well as children. Deals in a very delicate way withthe trappings of materialism as a substitute for tenderness.Highly recommended!

The Gift is a Treasure

The Gift is a beautifully and brightly illustrated book with foldout pages that makes both children and parents remember what is truly important. In this day of expensive toys and gadgets, The Gift reminds that the best gift we can give our children is our love.
