Read Our Story →First time using Books2Door and was very surprised how quick the delivery was. My books arrived in brand new perfect condition. There is no fault with my order and will use this company again.
Books arrived in a perfect condition, thank you. Well packed with extra stuffing so that books don't move around in the box during the transit. I look after all of my books well. I dont like dents and scuffs marks etc Therefore I greatly appreciate the fact that someone paid care to ensure books reach a customer in a perfect condition.
Fabulous! Had a couple of books from this store. I got a free book ( think it was for world book day), for my little granddaughter. Highly recommend this book store.
Absolutely fantastic! Why did I not know about this place before. Ordered a huge order and the price was even cheaper than amazon. Shall always start my book search here in future.
I am a repeat customer for Books 2 Door Limited and have always found them reliable and fantastic value. Delivery is prompt. Packaging is functional. There is always a great choice of books and they offer excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
Great service from the company. Item as described and great value for money. Sent well packed and very fast delivery. Would definitely recommend and will use again
I was a bit nervous that it might be a scam seeing the huge discounts on whole collections of books, but what a pleasant surprise! Brand new books delivered quickly, well packaged (and corners well protected!) for an amazing price. I already look forward to my next order. One minus point, the iPhone app seems to be bugging. The same account credentials used on the website do not display my former order or wishlists.
I've ordered from this website multiple times and every single time the order is super quick and easy. Books come in fantastic edition and there are so many incredible deals, discounts and rewards. I've only had one error out of all of my orders, and their customer service team were quick to help rectify the situation. I would 1000% recommend as a book lover!
I had a great experience ordering from this website. Everything was smooth and easy, from browsing to checkout. The order arrived exactly as expected and the everything was excellent. Overall, a very reliable website and a great online shopping experience. Highly recommended!
I found Book 2 Door Limited, and it was the best thing yet. The many books to choose from, and the prices are really great, I managed to get the books, I was looking for and more, for my family, at such a fantastic price. I highly recommended, Books 2 Door, for everyone who reads, you will not regret it. They provide a wonderful service, what a shop, I love it.

View full detailsAxel Scheffler is one of the UK’s most beloved illustrators. His collaborations with Julia Donaldson have become modern classics, and his drawings of The Gruffalo and Superworm have sparked the imaginations of children worldwide. He’s illustrated postage stamps, a book bench, the walls of children’s hospitals, and won many awards along the way.
We love illustrators here at Books2Door. Take a look at our other collections for beloved artists such as Dr. Seuss, Quentin Blake, Tony Ross and Roger Hargreaves. We also have a section dedicated to picture books, as well as pop-up and lift-the-flap books, which have many books perfect for fans of Axel Scheffler.
Axel Scheffler was born in 1957 in Hamburg, West Germany. He dropped out of the University of Hamburg and instead did national service caring for the mentally ill. He moved to England in 1982 to study Visual Communications at the Bath Academy of Art. It was during this course that he decided to become an illustrator.
Scheffler illustrated his first book, a reissue of The Piemakers by Helen Cresswell, in 1988. Since then, he’s worked with multiple authors, but his most enduring partnership is with writer and songwriter Julia Donaldson. They were put together by a publishing company that wanted to make one of Donaldson’s songs into a picture book. The result, A Squash and a Squeeze, was published in 1993. This unexpected project launched Donaldson’s children’s book career. When she had the idea for The Gruffalo in 1995, Scheffler was the person she sent it to.
The Gruffalo was published in 1999, and since then, their partnership has gone on to success after success. Their bestselling children’s books are often adapted for Christmas TV, as plays, and are constantly read and re-read by kids worldwide. Axel Scheffler also makes children’s books at Nosy Crow - his popular Pip & Posy series has been adapted for television, and the Flip Flap series is great for kids who are learning to read.
Pip & Posy are best friends. But - just like any toddlers - they have to learn what to do when life doesn’t go their way. This series is a hit for readers aged 0-5 and their parents, since it helps them learn to read as well as learn how to be in the world. The Pip & Posy 8 Book Collection is a great value way to start your Pip & Posy library.
The Flip Flap series is perfect for people tired of the same old natural history books. Each volume is spiral-bound and split down the middle. On the right, there’s a drawing of an animal. There’s a rhyme about it on the left, one on each half, and its name is written vertically across the split. You can mix and match any top half with any bottom half, so you and your child will be laughing out loud as you discover strange new hybrid creatures like the “fab” and the “squolphin” together. Each book has eleven combinations of eleven animals - that’s 121! Grab Axel Scheffler’s Flip Flap Series 8 Books Collection today.
