Colourful, I-spy picture books published exclusively for Sainsbury's by Dorling Kindersley Limited.
The first Sainsbury's children's books were aimed at the under-fives. The original range included board books, story books and 'play and learn' books. To this range was added puzzle books, fact books and stories for older children. In 1990, Sainsbury's introduced the Home Learning Series, developed in consultation with educationalists, reading experts, parents and children. This range aimed to help parents to support their childrens skills in maths, science and reading, in line with the new national curriculum. Within each strand were five levels, spanning ages 3-8.
Sainsbury's used coloured banding along the spine of each book, attractive covers, and guidance over the book's age group in order to allow shoppers to make quick decisions about their purchase.
In 1993 a range of puzzle books for the 3-5 age range were launched at 99p as wells as 'First Word' picture books at £1.45.
By 1995, Sainsbury's were still offering 'quality books at unbeatable prices', with prices starting at 99p for Toddler books and £1.45 for Storybooks. By 1995, books were also published for Sainsbury;s by Reed Children's Books, BBC Children's Books, and Harper Collins, as well as Walker Books.
In October 1995, the success of Sainsbury's children's books was replicated in Shaw's, Sainsbury's New England chain of supermarkets, which became the first North American supermarket chain to publish own-brand children's books. This initial launch included 32 titles for children from six months to seven years old, published with Candlewick Press, Walker Books' American sister company.
Sainsbury's own brand children's books continue to expand and develop. In March 2011, Sainsbury's launched its first range of pre-school books (for children aged 0 - 5), including lift, look, touch, pop up and sound elements.
