Companies similar to the Book people for children's reading books

I'm sure there are some, I'm just having a mental blank.

I'd like to get some books for Molly to read over the Summer. She's about the level of the Usborne Apple Tree Farm collection (which we have), and I'd like to get something similar.

I know we have the library, but we will get the use out of them with Daisy too; plus the Apple Tree Farm ones have been read several times over.

I did consider the Oxford Reading Tree ones but was a bit

at the price, and to be honest I'm not that keen on them anyway.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Is there something wrong with Book People? Was about to order from them?

Play.com is reasonable for childrens books too.

Oppro - no nothing at all, they just don't have what I want.

C-B, thanks will have a look.

Check out ebay, lots of cheap books on there too.

Just thought too, we've found bargains at summer school and church fayres. Look out for them locally, perhaps won't help if you're looking for something very specific but they're usually pretty good.
