New Books: October

New Books: October

We know that for so many people, October is the best month of the year; the turning of the seasons, the golden light, the changing leaves on the trees, and a significant drop in temperature that means that it’s suddenly much more justified to stay inside and read!

And luckily for us (and you!), our October is a bumper month for new books – from books for the tiniest readers, to a brilliant addition to our hugely well-received Little Guides series and our Timelines series, a very special look at the night sky, and not one but two books featuring some amazing animals and brand new illustrators to the list, we’re sure that there is something for everyone…

 

Baby Art Gallery + Baby Zoo

It’s time to turn your baby into an art critic or a zoologist!

It’s never too soon to learn a new skill: as soon as they are born, babies are learning to focus on high-contrast images … Stimulate and entertain your little genius with these striking black-and-white art cards, inspired by the world’s greatest artists. Your little one will be entranced by their first art experience. Or if they prefer the natural world, your little one can be studying their favourite animals, from alligators to zebras, wherever you are!

It’s time to look and learn together…
