Bookplate

Ok, so you know how when you get a new toy, you like to put your name on it so that nobody else takes it? Well, grown ups also have a way of putting their name on things that they really like and want to keep.

One of the things that grown ups really like to keep are their books. They like to read them over and over again and keep them safe so that they can share them with their friends and family.

That's where a bookplate comes in. A bookplate is like a special sticker that grown ups put inside their books to show that it belongs to them. It usually has their name on it, and sometimes has a pretty picture or design too.

So, if you ever see a book with a bookplate inside, you know that it belongs to someone special who really loves that book and wants to keep it forever.
