I love giving books as gifts. When I'm thinking of gifts for the people I love, I always try to think of a book first. Quarto Knows is one of the places I always head to for unique gifts. Here are some awesome gifts for those you love
1. Get Growing Greenhouse from SmartLab: Reach for the sun! The science of plants is at your fingertips with this innovative, self-watering greenhouse. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just finding your green thumb, this helpful kit has everything parents and kids will need to get started. Just add soil, water, sunshine, and a little curiosity and in no time, you’ll have a sunflower!
The drip-drop watering system and growth chart will make monitoring and recording the progress of your seeds exciting and rewarding. Plus, the included booklet will provide plenty of scientific facts about botany (or, the study of plants). Did you know plants can actually defend themselves? Or that humans need plants to survive on earth? There’s so much to learn about our green friends!

3. The Lost Books of the Bible by William Hone: After the writings of the New Testament were selected from the numerous Gospels and Epistles then in existence, what became of the books that were rejected by the compilers?
Apocryphal texts are non-canonical books, similar to texts of biblical origin written just after Jesus’ crucifixion. Although they are not part of the Scripture, these verses are authentic to their time. These pages contain, among others, stories of Jesus as a child and the other miracles that Mary made. Lovers of biblical literature will find here obscure, but unquestionable, origin texts authentic to the time. Contained here are several remarkable references to the lives of the Saints, the birth of the Virgin, her marriage with Joseph, the nativity of Jesus and the miracles of his infancy, his laboring with Joseph in the carpentry trade, and the actions of his followers.
Mesmerizing and artfully written, enjoy these stories that were excluded from Scripture. The Lost Books of the Bible helps expand our knowledge of the early Christians and helps us better appreciate the texts that were chosen.
If you have a minister, historian, theologian, or anyone who loves scripture to buy for, this is the gift for them.
4. Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids by John Miller and Chris Scott Family-Friendly Projects for Exploring and Teaching Math, Science, History, and Culture Through Creative Building: Now an Amazon Best Kids’ Books of 2016 pick!
Balancing your child's screen time can be difficult, especially when it comes to wildly popular, open-ended video games like Minecraft. Minecraft offers players an environment focused on exploration, imagination, and creation, but its nonlinear game structure can mean spending a lot of time in the game.
Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids includes a variety of creative exercises that explore the game's aspects and uses them to teach fun, educational lessons.
You will start the book by brushing up on some common Minecraft language and examining each of the four game modes: survival, creative, adventure, and spectator. Then, you’ll use this knowledge to venture off onto the six different quests that encourage child and adult participation.
These "gamified" labs will allow your child to earn stickers and badges as rewards as they complete quests. You'll even learn how to screencast and narrate your own videos to share with family and friends!
Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids provides a fun, educational gaming goals that you and your child can reach together!
All I can say about this is that if you have a family member (my son and husband) that love Minecraft, this is a must-have. Buy
