The very best gifts fall into two categories: the kind that are perfectly matched to a particular person’s quirks, and the kind that absolutely any person would be happy to receive. Novels tend to be of the first kind; fiction is hard to choose as a gift unless you know a person’s taste very well. Perfect children’s books, however, are often of the second kind: universally appealing. --By Sonja Bolle
