25.01.2022 Noni Board Book Special We know that not everyone can go to the beach at the moment...but Noni can! Noni the Pony is friendly and funny. She loves going down to the beach when it’s sunny. With her two very best friends Dave Dog and Coco the Cat, and the cows from next door, it’s going to be a wonderful day! ... We have put together a pack including the board book version of Noni the Pony goes to the beach, a piece of beautiful Noni wrapping paper and a Noni Card! All for $18.95, including FREE SHIPPING! We are offering Free Shipping on all orders within Australia. Follow the link https://alisonlester.com/collections/new-releases

25.01.2022 If you’re out and about on this sunny weekend, make sure you drop in and say hi. We are open Saturday and Sunday, 10-3pm. Lots of last minute gift ideas, including the new release ‘Sing me the Summer’, and the new 30th Anniversary edition of Magic Beach. We also have some beautiful framed prints, which would make a very special gift. We are also well stocked with all titles, including lots of board books that have been unavailable for a while. ... From Monday December 28, we will be open everyday during the holidays between 10-3pm. Unfortunately there won’t be any scheduled book signings with Alison during these holidays due to physical distancing issues, however we will be organising a leave/collect service for you, so your books can still be signed! Don’t forget our online store is always open at alisonlester.com Enjoy your weekend, and drive safely.
