Animal Friends

Cuddly pets, jungle pals and farmyard favourites

Made for babies and toddlers who light up at the sight of a puppy, a lion or a little bear. These are friendly, easy-to-love first books, with favourites like the classic lift-the-flap Dear Zoo, Peekaboo Zoo and Ten Minutes to Bed, Little Bear. Bright pictures, gentle rhythms and familiar creatures make them perfect for sharing on a lap, again and again. A sweet gift for a new arrival or a first birthday.

Your recipient will receive an email or printable gift certificate with your message and a link to their own gift page. There, they can browse the stack and choose their book (or books), plus any extras you've added. They'll have two months to choose.

Their books then arrive packed in our gift-ready mailer, with a Chapter & Choice bookmark and a keepsake card for their stack. No wrapping needed.

Make it extra special with our Beautiful Bookplates: a pack of 10 illustrated bookplates. They'll choose their favourite design (Oscar the Owl, Monty the Mouse or Felix the Fox) to make their new books their own. You can add them once you've added the stack to your basket.
