" The Tidy Books Children’s book case has certainly been a huge hit here, it’s encouraged Monster to pick out different books each story time which is a minor miracle and has kept his beloved books neat and tidy when not in use. "

- Monster Fun House

" It looks stunning in the playroom, and it has encouraged the children to read even more than they did before, having the books all spread out on the shelves means they can see books which would normally be buried under a pile in a box. So not only is our playroom tidier, but it has encouraged even more reading! "

- Blog by Baby

" The Tidy Books bookcases engage children in reading, and reading is one of the greatest skills a child can have; it unlocks gateways to new worlds of wonder and imagination. And you can't put a price on that. "

The Story

Everything I make is designed to be fun and enjoyable for children, to draw them in and foster their sense of independence. I created the Tidy Books Alphabet Bookcase because ordinary children's bookcases decorated or not made no sense to me - books fall out. Plus how can you put such thin books of different sizes on an ordinary shelf? A box doesn't work either as the kids can’t see the covers. I wanted something that works well for kids and their books and looks good too, so I created the original Tidy Books children's bookcase for my daughter, Adele in 2004. And this changed the way books are presented to children in the home. I added the alphabet to my original design to help Adele learn the alphabet casually and gradually. I make sure all my designs are stripped back to keep them looking stylish so they blend easily into a home. It’s about creating a timeless classic that can be passed down through the generations. My designs give kids the freedom to discover their world by themselves- because kids really do know best.

Fitting

Fitting Your Bookcase To the Wall

The bookcase is designed to rest on the floor, at about 5cm from the wall. For safety, you will need to screw the top of the bookcase into the wall. The bookcase will lean towards the wall at a slight angle, leaving space for dado rails and skirting boards (skirting boards up to 30cm high).

Wear and tear might mean a letter goes missing from your bookcase. If it happens, get in touch and we’ll make sure your bookcase has a complete alphabet once more.

For your child’s safety, we leave the screws uncovered. The bookcase is designed for very small children to use, and a cap or cover on the screws would be a choking hazard.

The heights of the shelves mean small and large books fit neatly.

Small books don’t get lost, and large books have a home on the differently sized shelves.

The dimensions of each shelf are:

Top, open shelf: height 21.2 in
Second shelf down: height 9 in
Third shelf down: height 7 in
Bottom, fourth shelf: height 10.6 in
Just a reminder, each shelf is 30.3 in wide and 2.8 in deep.
