Parents
Nobody disputes the value of getting children to read but what can be difficult is knowing what to give them to read and how to get it. There are more than 10,000 new children’s books published each year in the UK and probably over 100,000 in print – so where do you start?

We have tried to make your job easier by selecting out the books that we think are worthwhile, that you can confidently give to your children and which will benefit them. With new books constantly appearing (and sometimes old classics disappearing) there is no fixed list of recommended books for children, that’s why we prepare quarterly catalogues with about 400 books for children many of which are recently published. You can view the cover and the whole catalogue below.

The catalogues are normally distributed to children and parents via schools and there are benefits for the school in the form of free books if they operate our school book club scheme. If your children’s school is not participating in our club then you might like to suggest they do or let us know the school details and we can mail them. If you are not able to order books via the school then we have a home ordering service.
