Books rank among the best gifts you can buy for the holidays, and this goes for anyone on your list — even little ones who haven't learned how to read themselves. You can find a number of wonderful children's books on the market, like the ones featured in our Gifts for Kids Who Love to Cook guide. But if you want a truly special book to share with a budding cook, here's one you can't beat. The Baking Cookies Together Personalized Storybook tells a tale of a child (or two children) baking cookies with a parent, a grandparent, or another adult. You customize the book with their names and physical characteristics, and you even get to add the names of who they're baking the cookies for. Recommended for ages five to nine, the book will not only encourage reading but also baking. It includes a recipe for sugar cookies that they can try their hand at with the help of an adult. Think about how thrilled they'll be to see themselves in a book, and to essentially reenact the story when they bake! The cookie plot makes this personalized book perfect for the holidays, but it's general enough to gift for a birthday or just because. UncommonGoods You can find the book on Amazon for $34.99, or you can purchase it with a matching child-size apron from Uncommon Goods for $50.
