This bookstore is really fun to go to and they have couches in the back which is great for reading to your kids. Their kids' books also tend to not have wheels on them nor require batteries ;) The store is filled with live cats, rabbits, dogs, lizards and fishes in the pond out back. These are the type of attractions that make this a must visit if you are walking by with your kids. I typically make an effort of buying something as they do provide great atmosphere which I would love to see there for many many years.
