Ballet twirly tales for story time

Saturday, February 4th 2012 at 11:00 AM

Ballet is the stuff of dreams for little girls (and some boys!) who love to feel light as a feather on their feet and dance around pretty in pink.

Today we are reading ballet stories and feeling like princesses on our toes.

Curious George story time! Monkeys!

Saturday, September 17th 2011 at 11:00 AM

We have been selling so many Curious George books lately, that it feels like a revival!

Curious George remains one of the best monkeys in children’s literature and although he never means to, it seems that he always gets into trouble.

We will read our favourite stories and colour in monkeys galore!

Celebrate Julia Donaldson with us at story time

Saturday, August 20th 2011 at 11:00 AM

Julia Donaldson, author of most loved books such as The Gruffalo and the Snail and the Whale has recently been made the Children’s Laureate for 2011 – 2013. This is a great honour for an author and they get two years to promote reading to children.

As she lives a bit far away, we thought the best we can do is read some of her stories especially her new one called Jack and the Flumflum Tree which is simply brilliant and already a new favourite. Join us for a morning of Julia Donaldson classics.
