Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – the first film in a brand-new Harry Potter spin-off series – arrived in cinemas last week and to coincide with its release, J.K. Rowling has also released the original screenplay. This beautiful hardcover book would make an ideal gift for the Harry Potter fan in your life, and we’re not surprised to see that it’s flying off our shelves.
The gift-giving season is well and truly here, and our list of bestselling children’s books includes plenty of other great gift suggestions as well.
Acclaimed author-illustrator duo Mem Fox and Judy Horacek have an adorable new picture book for budding animal lovers (ages 2+). Grandmothers will delight in sharing a new Ruby Red Shoes adventure with young relatives (ages 4+) – this time, Ruby and her grandmother visit London! Children (ages 8+) who love hilarious, madcap antics will find plenty to giggle at in The Midnight Gang.
And we’re completely in love with Rachel Ignotofsky’s Women in Science, which highlights notable women’s contributions to various scientific fields with verve and is highly, highly, recommended for ages 10+.
