Giftable books are a must on my shopping list each holiday season. It’s so nice to have books with that wow factor that makes them ideal to leave sitting out as coffee table books.
This year I’ve picked out books for kids and adults. The hardcover children’s books are ones that even adults will want to pick up, because they are fun, interesting and filled with beautiful pictures.

Explore America’s cities with 50 fact-filled maps

I’ve traveled around the US quite a bit, but this book still teaches me something new each time I pick it up. The book is a great way to learn and may inspire travel and appreciation for all this country has to offer.
Pirates Magnified
Pirates Magnified
by David Long and Harry Bloom
Pirates are a great topic for adventurous kids and adults. The book includes a magnifying glass that fits into the cover and is used for the activities in the book. Children and adults will be challenged as they use the magnifying glass to spot hidden objects in the detailed illustrations. This is a book that is both educational and entertaining.

4,000 Years of Art Imitating Cats

Caticons is a gorgeous coffee table book that is perfect for those who love art and cats. There are beautiful photos and also fascinating information about the author’s personal collection. I find a new favorite each time I pick up the book. Consequently, I pick it up frequently.
National Geographic Visual Atlas of the World

Visual Atlas of the World
If I had to choose just one book to get this holiday season, this would be the one. Beautiful photos and fascinating words fill the book, which is exactly what I expect from National Geographic. It will inspire you to learn about other parts of the world and, perhaps, add more locations to your bucket list. Hence, I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of the atlas.
Atlas of Beer

Beer lovers and travelers will both enjoy this atlas. The book will take you on a trip around the world as you learn all about beer and beer culture. Perhaps, you’ll plan some trips to explore some of the countries you read about in the book.
Books are a wonderful choice for holiday gifting!
