The Children's Bookshop, Muswell Hill is an independent family-owned children's bookshop which first opened in 1974. Stocking a huge range of fiction and non-fiction, our staff are always on hand to offer specialist advice on choosing books for children. We also offer a comprehensive service to schools and teachers, including school library supply, book fairs, author visits and open evenings.
For more information on what we can offer you as a parent, carer, teacher or school please either contact us or take at our information for schools.

Services
We set up a number of in-school author events in direct collaboration with individual schools. Recent highlights have included school events with Michael Rosen, Anne Fine, Jane Ray, Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, John Boyne, Lauren St John, Liz Pichon, Polly Dunbar and Hannah Shaw, to name but a few.
We work with schools to supply orders, curate libraries, bring book fairs and organise author events. If you would like to discuss any of the below, please email us at admin@childrensbookshoplondon.co.uk. We welcome teachers, librarians and lecturers at any time and - with prior notice - can open in an evening to allow a group to browse and purchase in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
We now stock Tonies! Toniebox and Tonies offer endless interactive listening and playing fun without bright screens or complicated controls. Children can listen, learn, sing-a-long and dance to their favourite stories, songs and characters all by themselves! The Toniebox is soft enough to cuddle and tough enough to handle hands-on kids.

I phoned about a particular book- the staff could not have been kinder and more helpful! It was out of stock, but they were able to quickly order it in. It was for a birthday and they even wrapped it in paper I could choose, and sent it first class to be sure it would arrive on time. Just all round lovely and great service, thank you so much for your help!

I wanted a book that had a positive story about a disabed child and they recommended this book which was newly published and perfect. What happened to you? by James Catchpole. It's so good to be able to go back into shops now and have a conversation about a book, and this is a great children's bookshop!

Loved this book shop. Went to get a new book come room for my classroom. We got lots of new lovely books. The staff are really knowledgeable and had lots of relevant suggestions for the age range I was looking for. They were fantastic. Also the books they stock are a great mixture of the popular and more generic ones as well as the more unknown authors.

I am a regular at the children bookshop and really love it. We are free to browse or given very good advice when we ask for it. My daughter loves reading and I am happy we can go to this shop and always comeback home with something interesting. Her passion is nurtured here and I am happy. PLUS it's an independent shop and I am happy to support them! Francesca Favia
