Children's Books

A children's book has to survive the child as well as interest them, which is why board books earn their higher price in the first two years and paper picture books can wait until hands are steadier. After that the illustration does the work, and the ones that last are the ones an adult does not mind reading for the fortieth time.

The Little People, BIG DREAMS series is the backbone of this range. Each listing holds many titles, so you choose the subject at the product page rather than hunting for a separate listing, and the format makes them easy to collect one birthday at a time.

For the room the reading happens in, see Nursery & Kids, and for something to give alongside a book, Toys.

How do I choose a title from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series?
Open the listing and select the subject from the options. All the available titles sit under the one product rather than as separate listings.

What age are these for?
Board books suit babies and toddlers, picture books roughly three and up, and the illustrated biographies read best from about five. Age guidance is on each product page.

Do you stock te reo Māori titles?
Two of the current range are bilingual te reo Māori and English. Stock changes with each order, so the range is worth checking rather than assuming.

Are these good shower or first birthday gifts?
Board books are, because they get handled early and survive it. A picture book is the better choice once the child is old enough to sit through one.
