Reading for and with the Young Folks in Your Life...
We love love love this part of our store and we know you will, too. If you're looking for something for your little bookeater or a gift for another, this is the place to find it. And if you're unsure of the latest and coolest and bestest--give one of our booksellers a chance to recommend some titles.
We've moved the Young Adult section out of this part of the store. Oddly enough, young adults don't necessarily look for their books in the Children's Section. You'll find fiction & non-fiction for the more advanced reader near the Poetry section. Our featured selections for young readers include:
Poetry and Story Collections
Nature books--non-fiction and wonderful tales
The perfect book-gift for the new baby
Our experienced staff (between us we have 5 children and 2 grands) will help you find the exact right book for your 5 year old, soccer playing grandchild who also loves ponies. Honestly, we will! And then we'll wrap it up, leaving you more time to love them all up.
