Especially without having to go to a big chain store. The whole process was really easy and I will likely come back and buy other books in the future.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered the book "Rangitoto" as a birthday present for a 6 year old grandson from Wisconsin USA. He climbed Rangitoto on a recent visit to NZ so the book will be meaningful, especially as there are no volcanoes in Wisconsin ! The book itself is excellent and delivery was prompt.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having just visited the Chathams I was delighted to find a copy of “Old Blue”, the story of Don Merton’s team saving the Chatham Islands Black Robin from extinction, was available. Service was efficient and prompt. Thanks Kate.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Found this store when searching for a specific NZ kids’ book that wasn’t available in local chain stores. Easy online ordering, arrived very quickly in time for a secret santa gift. Flawless service.

PS. Can definitely recommend Masher by Fifi Colston for 7-11y boys (I’m sure girls would love it too)

People are kind and say some nice things about their book buying experiences with The Kiwi Kids’ Bookstore. We’ve also built up a wonderful community of Kiwi authors writing for children and teens. I’m humbled and honoured to share their words with you.
Thanks, Kate

I have been a customer since the beginning of 2021, and they won't be getting rid of me! I love the opportunity to support New Zealand authors and The Kiwi Kids' Bookstore makes it so easy. Their website is well designed and inviting, with all the information right there, and is super easy to navigate. With the recently updated and streamlined processing of orders, I received both the orders I have already placed this year with outstanding speed, and they were excellently packaged with thoughtfulness to the environment. Kate's correspondence always keeps us up-to-date with new releases, promotions and comes with a personal touch that is very thoughtful and much appreciated. I can't wait to see how The Kiwi Kids Bookstore evolves next.

I ordered two books online from your bookstore a few weeks ago: Up the River and In the Bush by Gillian Chandler & Ned Barraud. I was surprised at how quickly they arrived, and I was impressed by your letter - a very nice personal touch! I’ve already recommended The Kiwi Kids’ Bookstore to a few friends who might want to buy kids’ books in the future - and need them delivered in a hurry! Thanks for the great service.

Delightful books and very pleased how convenient the whole process was. I’m already recommending you to friends.

I have had the pleasure of being associated with Kate Gordon of The Kiwi Kid's Bookstore since February 2021. During this time, Kate has worked tirelessly and passionately to promote New Zealand authors and New Zealand books. She is constantly coming up with new and exciting ideas to connect tamariki with New Zealand stories. As an author, I really appreciate being part of this unique online bookstore and I know that new readers have connected with and purchased my stories through the website. My older titles are no longer on the shelves in retail shops; her bookstore fills a gap in the industry perfectly. As a librarian and customer, she has provided schools with a one stop shop for New Zealand books which we might have otherwise missed. Because of Kate and her bookstore, more New Zealand stories are in the hands of New Zealand tamariki.

Thank you very much for your wonderful bookstore. You have an excellent range of books. Orders are well packed and received in good time. I'm looking forward to my next purchase.

Selling through the Kiwi Kids Bookstore has been a hugely worthwhile experience for me as an author. Not only has it given greater visibility to my work, it has also felt personally validating. Kate has chosen to promote New Zealand authors and place value on our work. In a cluttered, competitive market, she has elevated the status of homegrown talent, and this has been of enormous value to all of us. Kate never misses an opportunity to promote the books in her store in all manner of creative ways. While authors can get on with the business of writing, we know Kate is working tirelessly to champion our work.
