A book can be a great birthday present — but not just any book, something unconventional that will surprise. Here is my list of the top 5 birthday books.
On The Day You Were Born
, published in 1997, won the Parents' Choice Award. If you want to impress a child for their birthday, you should think outside the box and buy something special, not the usual children’s book. Don’t even think about something that they could color, especially since your children have probably colored every coloring book available. What they will love instead is the book that tells the story of the day they came in to this world. The illustrations are astonishing and they will be loved by your child. This book is a simple and unique gift created and written by Debra Fraser.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
written by JK Rowling will entertain your teenage child. I don’t think there’s any teenager who doesn’t know about Harry Potter and his great adventures with his wonderful friends. Make sure that your teen reads the book; the book is much better than the movie. When it was published in 1997, the book had massive success. Besides winning a lot of children’s book awards, this book was also the New York Times bestselling book. JK Rowling writes about an 11 year-old boy who finds out that he is the survivor of a wizard family and he must go to a school for wizards.
The Happy Birthday Gift Book
is designed especially for birthdays. It’s by author Henry D Ostberg and was published in 2006. For those who never know what to buy as birthday gifts, this book makes your job easier. It’s an amusing gift that’s great for both young and old. It’s a good book for your mother, but also for your partner at work; it’s a funny book for a friend, but also a great book for your boss. It contains jokes, facts, articles, and sketches related to birthdays.
Book of Ages 30
by authors Lockhart Steele, Joshua Albertson, and Jonathan Van Gieson, is the best book you can buy for a person who turns 30. A lot of people become depressed at the time, but this book will make you proud of your age. It was published in 2003 and it is a good gift for a birthday party. The book covers all tastes. It contains facts about popular people reaching 30 years old, statistics about this segment of the population, and jokes. It will definitely be a conversation starter at any birthday party.
What You Don't Know About Turning 50
by Phil Witte is a good gift for those depressed about turning 50. This book is written as a quiz-answer book and it’s so funny everybody will want to read it, and it will definitely make things less depressing for those who think that being 50 is too old. (They might even learn that with the age of 50 they can discover a new life.)
