Cleo

A shop of children's books, so most of the readers are nearer my height than yours. I'll keep my tail clear of the picture books.

Bonnie

Story times! I'll sit at the front and listen very hard. Also, books smell of nothing, which is confusing.

The pawrents

Bag of Books at 1 South Street is Lewes's children's bookshop, for ages 0 to 18, with story times and a book a month. Great for picking up some gems for the little ones in your life.

More from the pawrents

If you do go in, we highly recommend swagging a copy of the beatutiful book, The Loudest Whispers by Rhuar Dean (Author), Illustrated by Charlotte Workman a local Lewes artist!
