What a great place! by Tammy K. at InsiderPages
Contributor at Insider Pages
This place is crazy! It is a bookstore and a zoo all in one! They offer fun story times (although they are very popular and get crowded) as well. The staff are knowlegeable and friendly and the kids will be well entertained while you shop! There are animals running around all over the place! (Watch out for allergies!). What a fun and crazy idea! The kids had a blast and it would be fun to show out of town guests. It is definitely one of a kind!
If Maurice Sendak owned a bookstore, it would look a lot like this charming, kid-centric menagerie.

In Short
Kids know to enter through the purple inset door that's just their size, while adults fumble--and then are startled by a scolding from the rooster in the front window. Caged birds squawk and coo, at least two cats compete for customers' attention and a grape arbor looks lifted from the pages of "Where the Wild Things Are." There's a wall of picture books; sections on nature, world religions, creative activities and fine arts; even parenting books for moms and dads.
