Loved this book store! Popped in just to check it out but ended up wanting to buy almost everything on hand. With great options for kids and adults, the shop is rooted in wanting to tell the stories of many, diverse people. They have great events at the store itself and also post what's happening around the cities. Ended up buying these adorable Yay! magnets and will probably go back to buy more. This place is great.

The best! A must stop if you’re on Grand Avenue. Actually, it’s just a must stop no matter where you are.

We love to bring our toddler here to read books and play with the stuffed animals. The employees are very nice and helpful. They also have a small dedicated parking lot for their customers. Books are competitively priced and it is nice to support a local business. More...

We went to see Stacy Plays for a book signing. I was with my daughter and completely unprepared for the crowd. Angela helped us through my anxiety attack immensely. I would absolutely recommend this store on customer service alone. Thank you!! You guys ROCK. More...

Charming little bookstore for kids. Never had an issue here. Friendly and helpful staff. But today, I saw these books on the shelves for 3 year olds. Seriously?! I opened them and it was just ridiculous what was inside these things. Not appropriate for a children’s bookstore in my opinion. More...

Really love going through here for kids books. They have so many unique books, I felt I could get lost in there. They have the classics, but let's be honest, as adults doing the reading, it's nice to read a new story that is fresh and creative. This place is way better than Barnes and Noble and they do story reading during the week. They also wrapped a gift for me using recyclable paper (Bonus!). This is my new book store More...

One of the best places in town to take your younger kiddos where they can get practice interacting with shopkeepers, learn how to get good recommedations, and express their personal reading tastes. Buy a book and then walk over to Cafe Latte and read it with your critter = a good afternoon. More...

You probably haven't been in a bookstore in a while. If you need a book--especially one for children--they'll not only have it, but help you find it and wrap that gift for you. A perfect retail experience!

One my favorite memories is coming to the bookshop with my children and letting them pick out a book to buy. They enjoy it so much. It’s peaceful and charming. Exactly the cute little shop you’re looking for on Grand Avenue. I still stop by whenever I can to pick out books and the occasional cute stuffed animal that I easily can be talked into getting.... they grow up so fast.... high quality time with my little ones at Red Balloon has been priceless.
