Together with Bright and Early Education and Elicia from Little Learners Ascot, Bright & Early Books provides the local community with a beautiful bookstore and learning centre that offers opportunities for learning, growth and unending imagination for all.

Inside the charming book shop, customers are invited to take their time, relax (with beanbags provided) and enjoy all that a local community bookstore has to offer.

The bookstore supports Australian authors and creative locals, as well as much-loved international authors. You'll find  beloved classics like The Magic Faraway Tree (Enid Blyton), Winnie-the-Pooh (A.A. Milne) and Where The Wild Things Are (Maurice Sendak), along with new books by Anh Do and David Walliams.  

There's something for all ages, from picture books and early readers through to young adult/tween fiction. In addition, the store has a fantastic selection of books for adults too. Plus, a great range of exciting and educational gifts for boys, girls and grown-ups.
