Preloved picture books: The Wild by Bob Graham, My First Gruffalo Numbers, Bluey The Creek, The Rainbow Fish and The Very Hungry Bear

Book Week is the excuse you need to raid the shelves

Book Week Australia runs 22–28 August this year, and if your kid's costume plans have already spiralled into chaos, here's the easy bit sorted: the books.

Right now it's buy 3 books, get 1 free, on our single books (box sets are excluded). No code needed, it's applied automatically at checkout.

Every book has been through a proper condition check before it goes up. It's a picture book that's already survived one toddler's dinner table and can survive yours too, at a lower price than new, and one less set of pages heading to landfill.

Book Week is a good nudge to top up the shelf before the costume panic hits: a classroom read for the character parade, a book about the character parade, and something for the kid who insists they're "not doing dress-ups this year" (they will change their mind on the morning of).

The first book off the shelf for Book Week was The Wild by Bob Graham. It's already sold and on its way to a new home in Queensland.

Grab 3, get 1 free, and have the shelf sorted before the school newsletter reminder lands in your inbox for the third time.
