This endearing picture book in rhyme is a love letter to bookshops and the space they provide for discovery and delight.
A little boy adores visiting the old bookshop down Lemon Tree Lane with his grandpa – its nooks and crannies, its endless stories, and even the bookshop dog at the back. That is, until the day the owners box up the books, take down the shelves and lock the doors, and the bookshop is no more. But then something wonderful happens … Perfect for readers aged 3 to 6.
