FREE event! Meet Spiderwick author Tony DiTerlizzi!





Tony DiTerlizzi
Saturday 17th September 3:30pm

Come along and meet author and illustrator of the best selling series Spiderwick Chronicles. Listen to how he dreams up the characters, the story behind Spiderwicks, what it was like to have a film made, how he started illustrating and how he dreamt up the idea for WondLa. Amongst all this, he'll be drawing his way through the session, recreating characters!

Come, meet, ask questions and get a book signed! We will be selling a full collection of Tony's books on the day, so buy a copy and get it signed personally to you. If you are unable to make it on the day and would like to have signed copies, please contact the shop and speak to a memeber of staff who will be happy to help.

This is a great FREE event suitable for 8-14yr olds! Places are limited, so please book your spot as soon as you can.

Quentin does it again! Signed copies of Angelica Sprocket's Pockets in stock now.


Quentin's books have such an instant appeal to little ones and this new title Angelica Sprocket's Pockets is no exception. Angelica has the most amazing jacket with numerous pockets, from which the most amazing things come out! This was read at storytime and it was very entertaining and lead to us dreaming up whether we could pull ice creams out of our pockets...

We're very lucky to have a few signed hardback copies in stock, so pick one up today!

Judi Abbot - The Biggest Kiss storytime





We were so happy to welcome illustrator Judi Abbot to the shop for a special storytime, where she read her new book The Biggest Kiss which she illustrated. We loved her entertaining storytelling and also Judi held a creative drawing session afterwards. There were lots of unusual combinations of which animal would give a kiss to another animal!

Judi was kind enough to judge The Biggest Kiss colouring competition and picked her favourites. Thank you to eveyone for coming along and also to Judi and Amy.
