One of the most common requests I get for literary goods posts is rounding up some fun bookish gifts for kids. We’ve got babies covered well and we have teens and adults covered. But somehow, kids seem to be overlooked, despite some of them being the biggest (little) bookworms you can image.
So now it’s time to highlight some awesome bookish goods for kids. There are some beloved characters and franchises represented, but for the most part, these are the kinds of goods — tees, book plates, etc. — that are perfect for any young reader in your life.
Treat the little ones to the book life, too.
