A unique children's bookshop where parents (and grandparents!) can always find the right book, whether it’s for a young person who is making a start at reading, a child who can read but hates books, or a very young fluent reader.
Our special colour system arranges books according to skill and interest level, rather than age.
We have hundreds of the best children’s books in stock, handpicked for all ages: books for babies, wonderful picture storybooks for toddlers, books for children who are just starting to read, and of course, a wide range for good readers, whatever their age, including non-fiction, educational material, dual language books and our special gift packs.
Our favourite authors are Julia Donaldson, Margaret Mayo, Jeff Kinney, David Walliams, Andy Stanton, Rod Campbell, Dick Bruna, Eric Carle, Michael Morpurgo, Simon Bartram, Michael Rosen, Francesca Simon, Cressida Cowell, Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton, Alf Proysen, Debi Gliori, Jeremy Strong, Giles Andreae, Bali Rai, Andrew Norriss, Judith Kerr, Nick Sharratt, Kes Gray, Sally Gardner, Tony Ross and Ian Whybrow.
