Our children's area is a space for families to spend time: a place of inspiration, magic and wonder. Our shelves are full of exciting new titles for all ages, there's a comfy sofa to share stories surrounded by cuddly toys and even a toy box to entertain little ones while you browse.
We understand the importance of reading and the companionship books offer and we're keen to share our enthusiasm and love of books. We take the time to engage with younger readers, igniting what we hope will be a lifelong love of reading. Children's authors often feature in our own reading and we're constantly impressed by the quality of writing from which to choose our recommendations.
Children's Book Group

The Cogito Reading Treat for Children
If your child is looking for some inspiration for what to read next, our personal reading treat consultation might be just the thing!
Schools
We're involved with many local schools in a variety of ways; we source books, curate book selections, welcome class visits to the bookshop and organise author visits - making reading fun and interesting.
Happy Book Readers
Our Recommended Reads for Children
There's a fantastic range of new authors and illustrators creating books for children of all ages which make great additions to familiar classics. We've recommended just a small group of them here and there are hundreds more waiting to be found in the bookshop. Our suggestions include some books that are great for children to read themselves and others to read together.
