Shaun Tan’s The Singing Bones is last week’s bestselling book for kids and teens – through we suspect there may be some adults in the mix too… If you live in Melbourne, No Vacancy Gallery is currently hosting an exhibition of Tan’s sculptures from the book which sounds wonderful. Find out more here.
Our bestsellers list included two other new picture books: the latest enchanting collaboration from Jane Godwin and Anna Walker (What Do You Wish for?), and an intricately-crafted release from French illustrator Hélène Druvert’s (Paris Up, Up and Away). See a peek inside this latter here.
Some very funny books are also proving popular with our younger readers – David Walliams’s Grandpa’s Great Escape, Anh Do’s Totally Weird!, and (of course) Andy Griffith and Terry Denton’s The 65-Storey Treehouse.
