Good morning! I'm taking a break from our publishers series to highlight some children's boxsets that recently came into stock. These sets represent a significant saving over buying the books individually, and numbers are very limited.

New titles: HarperCollins Children
The third in our series focuses on HarperCollins Children's books. HarperCollins has been publishing fiction and nonfiction for 200 years and currently host some of the biggest names in children's publishing. As always, these titles are in no particular order and represent only a tiny sample of HCC's fantastic range.

New Titles: O'Brien Press
Welcome to (I hope!) the first in a series of posts highlighting some of the new titles. At this time of year there are so many lists and suggestions and best buys, it's easy to be overwhelmed. I'm hoping to make things a bit clearer, so do let me know if there's particular information you'd like to help you decide on your books.
We're starting with the O'Brien Press; they've been publishing in Ireland for more than forty years and their children's books regularly win awards nationally and internationally.
For toddlers, this chunky, brightly coloured picture book is a great introduction to vehicles they'll see on the streets every day. From bicycle and car through to Luas and Dart, it's a fantastic first book and a great match with my first book of GAA, also available.
Pangur Ban escapes a manuscript in chase of a plump grey mouse. The ghosts of Trinity help her search - well, some of them do - but she just can't seem to catch that mouse! A beautifully illustrated book showcasing the history of one of our most famous buildings.
The most famous of the Three Sorrows of Irish storytelling, this new rhyming version is a wonderful gift. The illustrations are full of details and just beautiful to look at. Amazing.
One of the best of this genre, this book features more than thirty Irish men and women who excelled in their fields or inspired others, or both! I'll admit I didn't know most of these people before reading the book, which made it really interesting to me. Love the illustrations, too.
Judi has dabbled in historical fiction in the Stand by Me series, but Lily is set much farther back, mixing real fact with imagined history to produce a wonderful adventure novel. This is already selling very well and will be a great buy coming up to Christmas for your tween.
This is a tiny samlpe of the amazing books O'Brien are producing. Please do drop in and see them!
