New Releases

To mark the celebration of the Chinese Moon Festival, Barefoot Books has published a new book: Lin Yi's Lantern - a Moon Festival Tale. It's a lovely story which shows the rewards of putting others first. It also includes educational notes at the back of the book about the Chinese Moon Festival, life in rural China and the legend of the moon fairy.



If you are interested in Chinese Culture you may also be interested in The Great Race, or Stories from the Silk Road, both of which are on special offer this month.

September Sale

We have several books in the sale this month. Click here to see them all.

My favourite, however, is Herb the Vegetarian Dragon which is normally £5.99, but has been reduced, for this month only, to £3.99. Here's a review of it written by my niece, Holly:

Herb, The Vegetarian Dragon Herb, The Vegetarian Dragon is a fascinating story, it is set in a far away land where dragons bring destruction and death to the people who live in Castle Dark. However, one dragon is different. Herb prefers to tend his vegetable patch than raid the helpless Castle Dark, for Herb is a vegetarian. He is a lovable character who is prepared to stand up for what he believes in eve n when death faces him... This is an exciting tale, it shows children how to live in harmony and peace with each other and I would recommend it to all readers , young and old.
