Your Friday Update from B For Butterfly Books: 21st August 2026
Hello and welcome to your weekly email from B For Butterfly Books.
As I write this email the rain is lashing down and the leaves are falling from the trees, a far cry from the pavement-cracking heat we've had over the last few weeks!
First of all a very special welcome to all our new email subscribers and a big thank you to everyone who has completed the bookshop survey. There's still time to complete the survey if you haven't had chance.
It will remain open until the end of the month and you could win a £25 B For Butterfly Books voucher. Simply click on this link to take you to the survey. Results and the winner will be confirmed in early September.
This week's Fiver Friday is FOX: A CIRCLE OF LIFE STORY by Isabel Thomas and Daniel Egneus.
Winner of the 2023 AAAS/Subaru SB&F prize for Excellence in Science Books, FOX: A CIRCLE OF LIFE STORY is a book which unites story and science to explain this big concept to children who have lost a pet or a loved one, or who simply are curious about death and what happens after we die.
RRP £12.99, just £5 (plus £4 P&P if required) for this weekend only.
Simply reply to this email to reserve your copy.
