Animalium from Big Picture Press is one of our all time favourite books, absolutely gorgeous, it spans all ages, and is a book to pour over and learn from for many many years. Review up on the blog, as if you needed more encouragement to grab yourself a copy.

We've had a shiny new makeover on our website, why not check it out on this sunny morning?

We've started to sell book bundles for little ones, inspired by childhood memories of the postman arriving with parcels of books we decided to do the same with beautiful books. Combining the expertise of independent retailers with the convenience of online shopping, book bundles are carefully curated with each individual child in mind.

We also sell birthday and baby bundles, and will be selling seasonal bundles. All are perfect gifts for Christmas, birthdays, or just to share the joy of books.

We're still in the process of transferring the blog over, but the basics of the website are there - pop over and have a look and share round your book loving friends with little ones, please!

Hand curated book bundles for little people - because reading's the biggest adventure.

At last year's Edinburgh International Book Festival I had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Rosen, something I was reminded of a couple of weeks ago when we went bear hunting in the snow, sadly/fortunately we didn't find any bears; the results of the conversation are over on Bear Got Books now.

Since it's National Library Day why not check out what's going on up and down the country. Our local council library is now closed most days, but we do have a community one, people power 💪🏻💪🏻

Libraries across the country are hosting a range of events to encourage their communities to show "solidarity and support" in celebration of "our fantastic, vibrant libraries" to mark National Libraries Day tomorrow.

It's been a while...and here's why. Lots of exciting things going on with Bear Got Books after a long hibernation, that's what winter's for isn't it?!

Two months ago we moved. Moved from the city after 16 years, back to the wilds of the countryside. All moves are nightmares of organisation, taking rolls of bubble wrap, horrible amounts of money, ...

It might be foggy and wet and nearly winter outside, which means inside it's best to curl up with a good book, and right now we can't think of one more fitting than the beauty that is Home by Carson Ellis, reviewed right now. Gobble it up before lunch!

Carson Ellis is already known in our home and many others as the illustrator of the brilliant Wildwood Chronicles. She has a gift of creating magical worlds right there on the page that seem to bre...

After a long hiatus - we are knee deep, elbow deep even, in boxes right now due to an imminent big move - we are back and delighted to welcome Ever Dundas, talking about her early encounters with the work of Anthony Horowitz.

Firstly, apologies for the prolonged hiatus - Bear and the boy and the rest of the family are moving home, so we are knee deep in boxes and all the rest of the things a big move entails, but are de...

Animalium was one of our favourite books of last year, so to have a poster book released today is just too exciting. As are all the other great Big Picture Press books freshly published today.
