Children
Adventures for young readers
Our children’s section is a treasure trove.
We have picture books, classics, poetry and non-fiction. We have stories to inspire, to captivate and transport them to other worlds – books to hook the most reluctant readers and to satisfy the most voracious. There are graphic novels, early reader chapter books and more: with three former teachers working here, we are always happy to advise.
We can’t promise to help with homework though.
Tempting treats for busy bees
We have books and more to keep active kids entertained – Eye Spy for young explorers, plus books for stickering, colouring in and puzzling. We have kids’ non-fiction for learners and fact-finders and gorgeous gift books for special occasions. We also have books which can help children cope with life’s challenges.
Fun for little fingers...
We firmly believe that no-one is ever too small to love books.
We have lots in store for babies and toddlers – from soothers and comforters to cloth books for the tiniest little hands. We also have board books (specially built for bumps and bashes), noisy books, pop-up adventures and the picture book classics we all love to revisit. We even have newspapers for babies!
Come and explore!
...and plenty of playmates
We have lots of soft toys to choose from, many of which are suitable from birth. We have an ever-changing range of must-have Jellycats, plus chic Egmont Toys, full of Gallic charm.
Choose from baby soothers, exquisite animal cuddlies, traditional teddy bears, snuggly bunnies and also eccentric and slightly bonkers ‘amuseables’ including vegetables, fruit and seasonal specialities.
Our range of toys and Jellies is ever-changing. Come and meet them in store, or browse our collection online here.
