The new prince in England was just named George. I am sure people will be trying to pick out the perfect gift to give him. My favorite baby gift to give is a book. I love to look over the children’s books online and at bookstores to find the perfect one for the family. Prince George’s family just might enjoy a collection of children’s books with characters named George. I thought I would make it easy for them and share a collection of 10 wonderful books that feature main characters named George.
