COSY READING NOOKS AND AUTUMN-THEMED CHILDREN'S BOOKS
Hands up who's excited for autumn? We are!
It's a season that promises so much - crunchy leaves, golden sunsets, the need for chunky scarves, marshmallow-topped hot chocolates after family walks, and not forgetting children's favourites ... Halloween and Bonfire Night (we won't mention the build up to Christmas just yet).

COSY READING NOOKS
While it's wonderful to spend time outdoors when the weather is glorious, autumn is also the season where we start to turn our attention to the indoors and making our homes as cosy as possible. Extra cushions on the sofa, blankets over chair arms, the lights get switched on earlier, and we'll soon be turning up the thermostat or lighting the fire. And it's also the perfect time of year for storytelling and snuggling up with your little ones and reading them a brilliant story book. So, we've selected our best reading nook inspiration for you and also our favourite autumn-themed children's books. Read on!
