Do you live in
Christchurch?
If so you will know
the Original Children’s Bookshop in Blenheim Square. It’s a shop I have always made a point of
visiting each time I have been in Christchurch both in Victoria Street and in Blenheim Square (post earthquake) .
After 37 years of
trading this unique and amazing bookshop will almost definitely be closing down
in just a few short hours - yes, and on NZ Bookshop Day 29th October too
after their all day Tiger Who Came to Tea
Party. (See also yesterday’s post
for another Tiger Who Came to Tea Party
– in Wellington at the Children’s Bookshop, Kilbirnie!)
It seems half of Christchurch
will be visiting to pay their respects but please join them. Take a cupcake, a
pot plant, a bag of sweeties and above all BUY A BOOK (or several books)
