The power of reading for children cannot be underestimated: invigorating minds, stimulating imaginations, bringing joy and escape, which is why Hatchards's Childrens Department is bursting with books. Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit tales, Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came to Tea, and Michael Morpurgo's War Horse. From Winnie the Pooh to Harry Potter, tots to teens, there is so much to discover!
