The Children's Bookshop is a children's bookshop in Moncks Bay, Christchurch, selling children's books, toys and gifts. It is called an iconic Christchurch bookshop. Its online store lets customers search by keyword, title, author or ISBN, and its stock includes picture books, board books, touch-and-feel books, colouring books, sound books and well-known titles such as the Hairy Maclary and Peter Rabbit books, and Eric Carle's books.
Customers say the shop is a lovely nook with a wide selection of children's books for every age. Staff are described as friendly and well informed, and one says staff will look for a book the shop does not have and point customers in the right direction. Another grandparent who brought a six-year-old was helped to choose a book that suited the child's reading level. For a parent or grandparent in Christchurch who wants a book to fit a child's age and reading ability, it is a good place to visit.
