When Chris, Joe and I made our trek to Wellington back in August, one of the many great shops that we visited was Arty Bees Books at 106 Manners Street:

I’ve written before about my love for used {ahem, “pre-loved”} books and bookshops.

Arty Bees has both pre-loved and new books.  I had a great time perusing their shelves and checking out the Children’s Section.

So many books!

It’s a good thing that we had a weight limit on our baggage, otherwise I likely would have bought about 20 different books and flown them back to Auckland with me.

In the end, I settled on a pre-loved book of nursery rhymes for Joe:

I’ve read nearly all of the rhymes to Joe already.  I wish that they had an Auckland branch, but I’m happy to see that you can find some of their inventory online.

So, next time you’re in Welly, take the time to visit Arty Bees {and look at the Children’s Section for me}!
