Best kids storytime and kids books selection.
First of all that little tiny door is everything. My kids feel like they are stepping into a magical world of books because they are! Booked is well curated and has a wide variety of diverse books. The staff is knowledgeable and if they don’t have what you need, will gladly help you find the perfect book. What a gem …
Amazing spot with a great selection of kid’s titles but also a curated list of adult books, and they can order almost anything. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and the shop is often hosting event with authors reading their books for kids. Little ones will LOVE the kid door. Convenient to Main Street stop on CTA purple line …
Staff are so friendly and helpful. The selection is amazing and if you want anything they dont have, they'll order it for you. Plus, the books groups (for adults and kids) are really fun.
The little kids door was the first sign that we found a place to be repeat customers. The kids love it, they were excited got help finding books. I even got one for my toddler that we read several times at home and my niece excitedly joined a book club, as did I.
At first this place was my kids favorite bookstore because of the cute door within a door for kiddos, but now they are too tall for it (though they will occasionally duck for old times sake), but now it's our favorite for the sense of community we get there.

Fabulously charming independent bookstore with outstanding customer service. Though they’re best known for their children’s books, (and the cutest mini door!), I hope they become better known for also having books for adults.

I LOVE this little local bookstore. It’s a perfect and magical place for kids and while they are the first place I think of when I need a kid book, they also stock and sell adult books. They have storytimes for the littles and helpful and friendly staff.
Lovely little bookstore with emphasis on kids. The booksellers are really kind and they have great events.
Great vibes! They also have cool trinkets and plenty of interesting books for the grown-ups.
