about buying books to build the childs library.

Like for a baby shower.

We did this once in my old school and thought it was sooo cute, we all bought the baby books, I was thinking of doingthat where I am now for 2 moms to be, but i need the poem

_---------------------------

Found them..

As Mum’s(name) due date is coming near,
We're inviting friends and family dear.
To choose a favourite story or fairy tale
That you would like Baby XXXXX to hear.
Instead of a card, please let Mum(name here) and Dad(name) look,
At your special choice of a book,
and then to Baby XXXX they will read
With all the love a newborn will need.
So with a personal touch, please choose a book
And in it then your name and message please put.
It need not cost more than a card
Just pick a favourite, it shouldn't be hard.




A card is nice, its sentiment sweet,
But a book will keep baby on her feet.
For years to come, baby will read
Longing for stories will never be a need.
A shelf full of wisdom for all to give,
For baby to keep as long as she shall live.
Filling the shelf should not be hard,
If you would please sign a book instead of a card




I want to be a bright child
As smart as I can be.
That is why I'm hoping
My mom will read to me.
If you plan to bring a card
Please take another look,
I would like to learn my ABC's
From your favorite storybook.
Please sign your name
As your personal touch.
Baby ________ thanks you
Beary, beary much.

Or replace the last paragraph with the following:

Please add your name and a note
Then I'll know you've done your part.
Some day I'll surely thank you
From the bottom of my heart



Although cards are nice with their sentiment
and prayer,
They're read once or twice then tucked away
with care.
A book is a treasure, words and pictures unite
Read over and over to teach and delight.
So instead of a card for Baby and
mother,
Please give a child's book with your thoughts in the cover.
Your book will be cherished; God will watch from above,
When it's read they will remember your
kindness and love.
