Did you know we now have several Orchard Toy puzzles and games on the website and of course they are all at Books for Bugs prices not RRP!
Including the very popular Orchard Toy Christmas Eve box at only 7-99 (14-00 at most other stores) these are limited stock though so if you're thinking of any of them for Christmas I would get in quick! 😉

I really don't want to finish the last few chapters of Cinnamon Crumb as this indulgent little habit Bug4 and I have started will soon come to an end and we have loved the book just as much as the sugar!
Full of baking puns, a great plot and wintery theme this book is 100% one to buy now and keep to read with your children in the lead up to Christmas. Cozy snuggled up bedtime, mini hot chocolate and the most beautifully illustrated book what more do you need!
Seriously go order your copy now!!
(Slight plug they are available at Books for Bugs at only 4-99 each too!)

Also perfect for Bake Off fans! 😉

This post is particularly for our local Forest of Dean customer because look... a book about a HUMBUG!!!

This could quite literally be based here (apart from the red squirrel) The illustrations are stunning from the tiny nuthatch to the forest backdrop.

It's also a perfect story to share with little ones who have just started school as at its core it is about making friends, taking those first few steps into independence and learning to trust your instincts.

Available now on the site and at the warehouse.

Results are in... I let Bug4 choose a winner & after going through both the Insta and FB entries and he chose
🥁 🥁 🥁 Moorfield School (I think your photo entry won him over!) Congratulations!

I've got some more POS to re-home soon so there will be more chances coming soon.

Re-home time!
I have a spare one of these standees which would look fabulous in a library or bookish space so rather than it sit in a warehouse let's find it a new home! Plus I will send it with a copy of each of the 3 books.
This series is perfect for children who love stories of adventure, survival and mystery. They're quite funny too!
Let me know where you'd put it in the comments - school library, classroom or community space before 8pm Wednesday and we will pick it a new owner!
I'm sharing this on Instagram too so if you are on there you can enter twice!
Don't forget to give us a follow too in case you are the lucky recipient.

(Ps postage will be covered so if you get a random message saying it's yours pay ### it's spam ignore- I will announce on socials only!)

Tonight I bring you good news and not such good news.

Good news- today's open day has been one of my favourite. It's been a really long week and hearing such wonderful comments and seeing so many children today coming back for more books after previously not finding what's right for them elsewhere is just something I can't put into words.
To be apart of your reading journey is genuinely such an honour.
Particularly those of you who are now reading after trying symbolised or dyslexia friendly books proving that the barrier to reading is sometimes just not having the right material to start with.
(I've got a few posts about those coming up)

Not so good news..
As many of you know this exact time last year when we launched the Grotto range our website came under attack from a competitor. Sadly, this launch weekend and the lead up to it the nonsense has started again.
The website itself is fine thanks to some very hardwork by clever tech people but we are getting loads of fake user accounts daily which we are dealing with and attacks on our social media including our Instagram account being repeatedly reported for no reason. This has now meant we cannot share links to the website not even in our bio.

So we won't launch the Grotto range tonight just incase stupid games start and will hold off until business hours so professional support is available.

This is such an incredible industry to be a part of and there is enough room for many booksellers supporting children to read, in fact we've actually helped lots of new book business get started over the past year so this particular sabotage attempt is really nothing short of pathetic.

If you notice anything on our social pages or on the website you think isn't right please do let me know, I would really appreciate that.

Anyway let's end on a good note - remember Flopsy the bunny who got left behind and had to chill out reading at Books for Bugs, she came back to visit today with her lovely family and I now have a beautiful handmade thank you card on my desk 😊
