A Sunday well spent x

Thorp Perrow serving up some wholesome family fun : )

Just what we needed after a cold taking us both out for the past fortnight 🤧 The gnome trail and sandpit in particular were a hit!

All set up and ready to welcome customers to my book corner!

Don't be put off by the bad weather and don't forget you can order from home too - every book I feature I'll also link to buy directly from my website 📚

30/05/2022

Tomorrow is my first fair!

If you're in York come along to the racecourse and pop by my stall 🥰 I've got books for babies right through to young adults 📚

If you're not local I'll be running my stall as a virtual event too so if you see something you like, send me a message and I'll reserve it for you.

So excited to show you all the lovely books tomorrow!

25/02/2022

I just saw this offer whilst browsing the website... what a good deal!

We have a couple of these as hand-me-downs and they are so entertaining, lift the flap books are always a win!

Quite intricate drawings and it's not a board book as such so I'd say probably for the 3+ age range ideally (but you could always buy now and save them for later 😜)

£19.96 for the four (RRP £31.96)
Send me a DM if you'd like to buy!

I'll get them out and show you inside on stories today too.

With so many good books out there it can be overwhelming to pick one for your child...

Honestly? Instead of reading 'best book lists' I recommend you go back to basics and just search based on age, reading level and interest; hidden in the masses there are often such gems that no-one ever gets to see so expand your search and let me know what you find!




Ps. Want me to help you? Just ask and I'll make up a wish list of lovely books personalised for your child : )

06/02/2022

What can I offer to you?

📚 I can make personalised book recommendations for your child - birthdays, Christmas, home learning topics or just reading for fun, I've got a book for you!

📚 I can run an online book party for you and some friends (and as host YOU get the free books as a thank you!)

📚 I can run sponsored reading events, community book pledges and book fairs for your school, nursery, library or other educational setting (with up to 60% free books available on top of orders!)

📚 I can help you start your own pop up bookshop so you can get a discount, make additional income or help build literacy in your local community... it really is your business your way!

Send me a message if you'd like to book something in!

WIPE CLEAN BOOKS

These books are so great for developing fine motor skills, tracing the lines, shapes and letters.

They can be used again and again so perfect to keep in your bag and whip out when waiting in lines, at restaurants etc and then just wipe clean ready for next time!

Lots of themes available and activities with increasing difficulty for older children. Also lots of these books to specifically help with handwriting when a bit older.

Comment below if you'd like more info 🌿📚

Did you know Usborne make jigsaws too?

How amazing does this new one look?!

A beautiful under-the-sea scene that creates a maze once assembled. It also comes with a 32 page book featuring other mazes to try.

MAGIC PAINTING BOOKS

These magic painting books are so great, just paint with water and the patterns will appear!

Can you spot what bugs are on these pages?

For my nature-loving girl this insect themed book is ideal. Suitable for all ages and perfect for elderly people too to while away some time and get creative so a favourite order for community groups and care homes!

Sundays with books are Sundays well spent 🙌🏻

This is from the team training day yesterday where I got to see lots of books on my wishlist in real life.

As expected the quality of these books is excellent and the writing and illustration are ideal to engage young readers and adults alike...

Are there any you'd like to see inside of?

I took a few videos so might be able to give you a sneak peek!

Hello!

I thought I'd do a little introduction...

Welcome, I'm Charlotte, in my late twenties, Mum of one, living in rural North Yorkshire 🇬🇧

I love reading
I love horse riding

That's about it!

No really, that about sums up my life 😊 I also ADORE being a Mum and really feel that I've found my calling in motherhood.

In my spare time I read tonnes of blogs and listen to a lot of podcasts on parenting, childhood, health, nature and so on so I have lots of random little bits of knowledge should I ever need it 😀

I joined Usborne and started Hazel Tree Book Corner to get quality books for my daughter at a more affordable price 📚

Other than that I work part time for an educational charity and I'm considering training to be an waldorf early years teacher, perhaps starting later this year, time dependent 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'd love to hear more about you and what you're working on so drop your biggest interest this year below!

25/01/2022

Who are Usborne?

Usborne Books at Home and School (USBAH) are one of the most well known children's book publishers in the world.

Trading for over 40 years Usborne have 3000+ titles available and are known for the high quality books they offer.

From very first black and white mini books for babies, the 'that's not my' series, lift the flap and peek inside books to young reading series, Usborne have something for every intetest and reading ability.

They also have chapter books, young adult fiction, jigsaws, wipe clean, activity and sticker books and a whole range of non fiction that can provide a wealth of information on any topic.

I have chosen to partner with them for so many reasons. Not least that i had Usborne books when I was little and we've been given several as hand me downs and new gifts when F was born so I know and love these books and feel confident recommending them as they will stand the test of time.

19/01/2022

Why did I become an Usborne Partner?

Here are just a few reasons... or 40!

Many of them also show why you should consider Usborne books for your family, they're rated no. 1 children's publisher for a reason!

IT’S OFFICIAL! 📖

My love of books has turned into a career (or side hustle)... that’s right, I’ve become a book lady! ☺️

More precisely I am now an Independent Organiser in partnership with Usborne Books and I could not be more excited!

These are books I had when I was little and we now have them in our home for my daughter too so helping other children and families discover the magic of books and the gift of strong literacy skills is a dream come true!

I’m just waiting to activate my Usborne website so that you can browse and order directly through there, in the meantime though ping me a DM if you want any recommendations and keep an eye out for a virtual party coming up and few other fun events planned to celebrate my new venture.

Excited to get started!
Charlotte x
