Beautifully and thoughtfully curated toys that’s focuses on making learning fun. Love that I found toys from popular French brands and for the same price as on Amazon. They even offer complementary gift wrapping! This store is the perfect example of why we should support small businesses

Friendly, helpful staff in what has to be the most adorable children's book shop I've ever visited - in a fun area of town to explore as well.

I was already impressed by Second Star to the Right, when I had gone before. I was attracted from the outside in. The art and colorful building seemed so welcoming. This children’s bookstore had plenty to captivate a wide variety of interests and age ranges.

A few weeks ago, the moved down the street, just a few blocks, and I was even more impressed. The shop looks like a house from the outside and has several rooms and books on the inside. Not only do I want to buy from this locally owned, independent bookshop, I want to stay awhile.

There are not only children’s books, some adult books, fidgets, and other goodies. The shop works hard to be inclusive.

Go and take a look!

Plus, love the Peter Pan reference in the title of the shop.

Street side parking is available.

I took my child who’s on the spectrum here. They were so understanding with her transition meltdown into the store. She loved the playroom’s atmosphere and the opportunity to try some toys out.

The staff told me about an author who will be coming out with a book in August about how the world can feel like too much- I can’t remember the author’s name or the book, I’m hoping that someone from the store will read this and know what I’m talking about so we can attend the book reading ?

I love this store, but the other day I needed to stop by real quick to pick up a gift for my daughter. I was on a pretty tight schedule and drove 40 minutes up from the south suburbs, parallel parked two blocks away, walked over in the hot sun, and then got there and saw this sign on the door. I only had a small window to do the shopping that I needed to get done only to see this sign. It was pretty disappointing. I love this place, but seriously, what the heck. I guess the moral of the story is if you're on a particularly tight schedule, you should probably call ahead and make sure they'll actually be open when you get there before wasting your time.

Amazing book store with a ton of books for all ages, and an amazing kids reading room that cultivates a love of reading at a young age

Going here was kind of healing to be honest. I’m a gay uncle and the last place I ever expect to see myself is in the children’s section. Not only did I find a great book for my nephew but the staff was so lovely and gift wrapped it free of charge for me. Would highly recommend to anyone!
