Springtime Sundays are made for lazing in the grass with a classic.

Timelessly in style…they’re classics for a reason & will always be in stock @ Call Me Janet.

*look out for a surprise guest, it seems that felines make for a most discerning reader.

At CMJ we believe that writing stories for children is the most important writing there is…

Children are some of the most honest & discerning readers and if you can capture a child’s imagination, then you’ve expanded, enhanced & possibly even changed their world.

Baxter didn’t want to be left out of the #NationalBookshopDay fun, so here are his favourite recommendations for our customers…

Many treats were required in the making of this video! He’s not as natural an actor as that face of his suggests…but he’s still the goodest boy 🐾

Did you know it’s #bannedbooksweek ?
