My husband's granddaughter will be having a birthday in a couple of weeks, so I made a pillowcase to use as wrapping for her gift, an absolutely wonderful pop-up book. We usually give books as gifts to his grandchildren and we especially like the pop-up books by Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda. The pop-ups are absolutely amazing. If you've never seen these books, you must take a look the next time you're in a Barnes and Noble. The artwork is exquisite.
Some of the titles that we've given are The Wizard of Oz (the tornado pop-up leaps right off the page), Alice in Wonderland (the cards fly up in the air), Cinderella, Star Wars, Dinosaurs...
These books are not for toddlers to play with...they are very delicate, so they should be given to children who will take care of them. Or at least to parents who will take care of them...

Sweet pillowcase and a wonderful tradition with giving the books as the gift! I look back at the books we gave our grandchildren, and we are amazed at the dates I wrote inside and how well the books held up. Each year represents what the g-children were loving at that time. Have a wonderful day!
Great gift ideas - if I should ever be so lucky as to have grandchildren, I will do the same!
