Christmas Book Gifts for Children: Choosing by Age and Reading Style

A book to unwrap, a world to discover

There is something rather special about giving a child a book at Christmas. It might be opened straight away, tucked beside a pillow for later or read aloud while the rest of the house is busy. The best choice is not always the biggest or the brightest. It is the one that feels right for the child receiving it.

For little listeners who love pictures

If they enjoy curling up for a story and pointing out details in the illustrations, a picture book can make a lovely gift. Mavzi and the Missing Star offers an introduction to the magical world of Quivori.

For a festive addition, Mavzi’s Christmas Wish is planned for release on 1 December 2026 and is intended for children aged 3–7.

For explorers who like to make the decisions

Some children love being handed a mystery and deciding what to do next. For readers around ages 6–10, the interactive Quivori adventures invite them to choose their route through the story.

For children who would rather reach for the crayons

A colouring book offers another way to spend time in a favourite imaginary world. The Quivori Colouring Book is worth a look for children who enjoy creative activities.

Still not sure?

Think about the child rather than the age on the cover alone. Do they like listening, exploring, drawing or choosing what happens next? Our Quivori book guide brings the options together.

Whichever you choose, we hope it leads to a few happy moments spent with a story.
