What a delight! The brains behind Avid Reader in West End have extended into the space next to the iconic Brisbane store and turned the space into a dedicated book store for children and young adults. Imagine that — a real life bookstore dedicated to introducing kids to the wonder of reading?!? Catching them in their last hour of trade on Friday night in what was also their first week being opened, I popped into Where The Wild Things Are looking for a few special gifts for the little grasshoppers in my life. I was told that the current stock is just a snippet of what’s to come. There’s your usual Dr Seuss, Thomas The Tank Engine and Mem Fox titles but also collections of equally endearing children’s books about the adventures of sloths, Japanese children’s stories and more. From Grug to the Hungry Catepillar and Hairy McClary — the young and young at heart will be able to indulge in and discover the wonder between the pages at Where The Wild Things Are.
