Children's Book of the Month - April 2026
​Children's Bookshop, Lindley

We are a small, independent children's bookshop, established in 1975.   We aim to continue providing a wide range of fabulous books to fire the imagination. 

The shop is well-established as a specialist children's bookshop with experienced staff who can help you find your perfect book.

Whether your child is just starting to read, uninterested, or a voracious reader we have books for them. 

We also supply schools. Click here for further details.

Why not come to the shop and see how we can help you!

We will also post books anywhere in the UK and will only charge the actual cost of postage.

"Hello Nicola, 
The books have arrived safely to Bristol and are wonderful. Just what I had in mind for my boys and arrived so quickly. Thank you.  Regards,  Rebecca"

​
Let me start off by saying that we would much prefer to meet you in person, talk books with you and recommend our favourites to you face to face (well through a screen at the moment but you know what I mean).  That is what we set the shop up for, being part of the community of Lindley. 

However, if you cannot get to the bookshop or just simply prefer to order your books online, there is now an alternative to Amazon which supports your local bricks and mortar bookshop. Click on the link above to check out Bookshop.org  For every purchase you make through our shop front on this site we receive a commission which will help keep us open on the high street.  We have provided some recommendations for you to consider so please browse our lists but you can buy any book and as long as you have nominated us we will get the commission. Thank you!
Ant Party by Ross Montgomery
"A party invite that gets out of hand; an attack from an unwanted guest, Andy's birthday is in danger of being ruined. So how do you deal with it? You Congaaaaaa!
​Exhuberant, colourful, fun and a lesson in working together to solve a problem. You may even learn something about ants!"

Books for grownups

Did you know we also sell a small selection of books for grown ups? We are always on the look out for a good book that isn't necessarily readily available. If we don't have a book on the shelf for you we can order it and it's usually here within a couple of days.

​Currently recommending:
A degree of Murder by Maz Evans
If you've come across the Loki series by Maz Evans then you'll instantly recognise her style in this book for grown ups. With a hint of The Breakfast Club in the cast, this book is very clever and the little witty comments throughout it will have you laughing out loud.

When murder strikes at Bathory University's 25-year reunion, the clues to the killing can be found a quarter of a century ago on Graduation Day 2000. As the secrets, tragedies and betrayals from years gone by play out at the reunion, someone is taught a deadly lesson.

Eleven witnesses - or are they suspects? - from the Bathory students and staff recount events in the years 2000 and 2025 while the murder trial unfolds before us. But who is the victim? Who is accused of being the killer? And is the right person even on trial?
