What Frances Glover has been reading recently.

SWANSON (SUSAN). House in the Night (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt£14)

A beautifully illustrated bedtime story for the very young. The black and white scratchboard illustrations with accents of gold create a unique book that is destined to be a future classic. A must for every new born's library.

YATES (LOUISE) Dog Loves Books (£10.99)

Dog's love for books, and his ventures into the world of bookselling make for a brilliantly illustrated picture book. Completely charming (and a rather good lesson in independant bookselling). We're lucky enough to have some signed copies available.
