What is a Book Fair?
A Book Fair is a pop-up book shop that brings the very best in children’s books to your school.
It lasts about a week and is a great opportunity to create a school-wide reading focus and build a buzz about books for the children – as well as to earn free books and resources for your school.
The books: hundreds to choose from
Every Book Fair is packed with hundreds of the best children’s books for all ages – from award-winners and the newest titles to pocket-money pick-ups and treasured classics.
The range includes picture books, early readers, chapter books, books for reluctant readers, older fiction, non-fiction, home learning and lots more. It’s a range you can trust too – every book is carefully read and selected by our Book Buying Team.
