This series of amazing kids' books has everything little readers love... flaps, pop-ups, flaps, sliders, wheels, and did I mention FLAPS?
It's sometimes tough to find great educational books for this age-range that provide good info but are also super engaging. These books have it all!
And seriously, if these books can keep my kiddo entertained for long-enough-to-enjoy-my-tea-while-it's-still-hot, your kids will love them too!

Obsession is getting lots of well-earned hype in theatres right now! As a fellow horror fan, I'm here to share some book recs if, like me, Obsession has wiggled into your brain.

PLUS, with Backrooms having just released, anyone who knows me knows I've gotta mention House of Leaves, since it's my third favourite book of all time! Truly a reading experience I've been chasing ever since.

Starting June 1st, we have exciting new SUMMER hours! 🌞📅

First, we'll be open SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!

Next, we're staying open an extra hour each day, meaning instead of closing at 4pm, we're staying open until 5pm each day to give you more time to browse!

Please note, however, that as The Lodge Coffee House is a separate business from us, they run their own hours. As such, the coffee shop hours remain 9am-3pm from Tuesday - Sunday, and closed on Mondays.

We're looking forward to getting to spend more time with you and the books! 😊📚

🐟One of my favourite picture books just arrived, and I'm over the sun about it!

Ursula is an happy catfish, swimming through a shimmering river with weeds waving above and a sky full of scrumptious bugs below. Then one question turns her world upside down. Is left right? Is right wrong? Which way is even up?

Ursula Upside Down by Corey R. Tabor is a playful and delightful book that explores individuality in the world and encourages young readers to find their confidence within it.
