What’s the greatest gift Clever Parents can give a child besides their own time? The gift of reading, of course! Created by two teachers turned moms, The Gifted Grasshopper provides books that have been personally selected after scouring the bookstores for what kids love and what parents love to read.
Book selections are grouped by age and topic. In the Preschool area, for instance, you can choose from book sets about the alphabet, numbers, animals, fairy tales and more. The 2nd and 3rd grade area has selections on sports, poetry, math and chapter books to name a few.
“Jen and I pride ourselves on being able to find beautiful books for children: books with engaging text and beautiful illustrations; books that will foster language development and instill a love of reading in children,” says co-founder Laura Greenstein. “Books that are displayed at large bookstores are typically there because the publisher paid for the special placement, not because they are a quality selection. There are hundreds of books hidden on bookshelves in these stores or not even in stock at all that should be a part of every child’s reading experience. These are the books that are placed in Gifted Grasshopper gift bags. We are quite certain that when we send a baby bag to a baby shower, no one else has purchased the same books for the new mother to be. We feel confident that we can find original books for a bag for a child with hundreds of books in his collection already. Jen and I spend hours looking for great books to add to our collections.”
Bags are packaged by theme, however, if a customer has a need that is not covered by one of these categories, you can order a gift bag by Custom Request.
Gift bags come packaged in a Gifted Grasshopper tote and include a bookmark containing helpful hints that can be used while reading with your child, glasses to help your child spot new letters or words and Griffen the Grasshopper, a plush grasshopper puppet.
