Bookish

My boy is 7 months old, and already has around 200 books (some of them my old baby books). But recently, a cousin of mine had a horrible thing happen to her 2 year old – a bookcase (thankfully empty at the time), fell on him, and crushed his legs.

I have a book case in Aldens playroom that I am having secured to the wall this week – but bookcases and shelves can be boring – and I wondered what eco-friendly book keeping options were available.

How much cooler than shelves is this croc? I LOVE him! And when my son moves from crib to bed, I’ll have space for JUST such a creature. (Can’t you just hear the ticking of the clock in his belly?!)

For less menacing book storage, there is this peaceful little island…an oasis for any little one that just wants to get away from annoying siblings…

I wonder what Jeremy Clarkson would have to say about this Jalopy?  I wish I had known about these wheels before I had Aldens book cubbys built….

And this lovely little bench, is exactly what I would of wanted as a young bookish girl. The perfect place to sit and have a hundred stories within arms length.

All of the above are distributed via Gresso, and the materials meet the strictest EU safety standards.

Why these aren’t available at every children’s store is beyond me – they are, it seems exclusively, available via Library suppliers  - but here is a link to where you CAN buy them: HERE.

Key Learning: School and library supply companies have brilliant nursery items that are not available in traditional stores.

Happy reading!
