Hi All

I was wondering if any of you know of a bookshop in HK where I could get copies of classic children's poetry books. Books like A.A. Milne's "Now we are six" or stuff by Hillaire Belloc and Edward Lear. I'm looking for a bit of an alternative for bedtime reading variety and think they could be just the ticket!

I have to say I haven't looked yet but don't recall poetry sections in the average Bookazine and Dymocks so it would be nice and very unhongkong of me if I could go to the right place first time!?

Thank you!
 
I'd say that PageOne has those titles; they can order them if they don't stock them currently.

Amazon will ship your order quickly. I buy my books online and they are here within 10 days or so.
 
I was also at the bookstore connected to WiseKids in Cyberport this weekend and saw a lot of Pooh books, both classic and Disney.
 
my kids love shel silvestein... they are a little young for some of the poems, but they still enjoy them. i think it's because of his drawings to go with them.
 
Thanks everyone, I love a browse in a bookstore so I'll try these suggestions and resort to Amazon if that doesn't work.

Carang, I don't know Shel Silvestein but I'll check him out ;-)
 
really? he is VERY famous! (many of his poems were made into songs... even his poetry for adults: On The Cover of the Rolling Stone...)

you can easily find him in any bookshop.
