  hope this helps 

   

  I want to be a bright child
  As smart as I can be.
  That is why I'm hoping
  My mom will read to me.
  
  If you plan to bring a card
  Please take another look.
  I would like to learn my ABC's
  From your favorite storybook
  
  Please sign your name
  As your personal touch.
  Baby (last name) thanks you
  Beary, beary much.
  
  OR replace the last paragraph with the following:
  
  Please add your name and a note
  Then I'll know you've done your part.
  Some day I'll surely thank you
  From the bottom of my little heart.

   

  Although cards are nice
  They're read once or twice
  Maybe three or four times at best
  A book is a treasure
  Forever and Forever
  So instead of a card
  To be put aside
  Please give the little baby
  A book with your name inside
  It will be read to our little tyke
  Before bed each night
  And we will thank you
  Forever and Forever!
  
  
  A card is nice, its sentiment sweet,
  But a book will keep baby on her feet.
  For years to come, baby will read
  Longing for stories will never be a need.
  A shelf full of wisdom for all to give,
  For baby to keep as long as she shall live.
  Filling the shelf should not be hard,
  If you would please sign a book instead of a card.

  I have two versions, a longer insert someone gave me and one I shortened to put on registry cards.

  As (insert mom-to-be's name)'s due date draws near,

  We invite friends and family dear

  To chose a favorite story or tale

  You want the baby to hear.

  Although cards are nice

  They're read once or twice.

  Instead of a card, please let insert mom-to-be's name) look

  At your special choice of book.

  Then to the baby she will read

  With much love guaranteed.

  Please sign your name as your personal touch,

  We warmly thank you, very very much!
