The Children's Bookshop is a privately owned independent specialist bookstore dedicated to providing the widest range of children's and young adult literature from New Zealand and around the world. The owners, John and Ruth McIntyre, and their staff (see About Us) are passionate about reading and are always willing to share their knowledge with their customers. We are experts at matching children with books, and get the greatest pleasure at finding reading for children who aren't traditionally readers. In 2003 The Children's Bookshop was named New Zealand's Independent Bookshop of the year, the first time it has ever been awarded to a specialist bookstore, and was runner-up to Unity Books of Wellington for the same award in 2008.
