As we truck here and there with our children we thought we would start to share some of the great places we have encountered. I have lived in Sussex most of my life , and I am still finding places we never knew about to take the kids.
So here is the latest find. – The Book Nook in Hove, Sussex.
With a stinking cold and generally feeling very sorry for myself, I did not feel up to very much - (don’t you just remember the days when you could just lie on the Sofa and watch daytime TV with the Duvet !). In the back of my mind I remember a friend telling me about a great little children’s book shop in Hove that served great hot chocolate and home made cakes ! – Feed a cold they say ………
So off we went to cake and book land.
It is just one of those trips which can just help break up the day, you can grab a coffee and delicious cakes and there is no guilt as the children get to read all these great books stored in a Pirate ship ! I have to confess I sat and watched whilst Flo bonded with other children and stuffed my face with hot chocolate and marsh mellows.
The Book Nook offers books for all ages from birth to teenage fiction. Whether your child wants to discover their first words, encounter walking with Dinosaurs, explore with Dora or even unearth the mysteries behind Vampires, The Book Nook provides a wide range of stimulating books.safely or enjoy their latest read.
The Book Nook has excellent facilities and run frequent special events throughout the year including: author visits, book and character days, story telling sessions and book review competitions. Nick Sharratt recently paid a visit and read to the children his ‘Pants’ book.
The lovely owners and staff are passionate about providing specialist knowledge and work closely with schools and nurseries in the area. Vanessa is an experienced English and Drama Teacher and Literacy Co-ordinator and Julie has extensive knowledge of publishing. They could not have been more helpful in choosing books for Flo.
definitely worth a visit ! xx
