The staff here is amazing. My husband and I splurge on a new book every Christmas for ourselves, and we take turns looking while the other watches our kids. The staff made sure we were okay and made us feel comfortable hanging out in the children's section while the other shopped. They definitely made us feel welcomed. Can't wait to go back.

This shop seemed cute at first but then quickly realized they sell far left propaganda and label it as a child’s book.

The best bookshop for kids and adults! The librarians really care about the books they bring to their readers. They will help search out a long-lost story and are passionate about great suggestions. Consider getting gifts and good reads from this fabulous place!

Great local kids' bookshop. They have unique programs for kids and even a personalized subscription box offering where they send age appropriate books and toys to your house. A Grand Avenue institution!

This book shop is a truly special place. Everyone is so helpful and they have an incredible selection. They are truly committed to their customers and I think do a great job of lifting up the world through literature. I absolutely love picking out books for my children here and bringing them! I will definitely be back!

Cute bookstore. I came looking for Jellycats and they have about a dozen or so different variations. Seems like kids play with some when they're reading so keep that in mind if a collector. (all the ones on display seemed alright nevertheless)

Sweet local bookstore in St. Paul with a nice selection of kids books, games, and other creative things. Staff is friendly. My kiddo isn't old enough to have book preferences yet but I look forward to returning throughout the years as their reading develops ☺️

Amazing bookstore and customer service!! I ordered a book online to be sent to a 2-year-old, and they wrapped it so beautifully and shipped it out with my note for him. They really go above and beyond. And they have a great selection of books in store or online.

Love Red Balloon ? They offer great service and the store is always neat, clean and organized. They also have great events for readers of all ages, gift cards for the picky reader in your life and a wealth of knowledge about books.

A wonderful space for browsing! I placed an order online for a few books; they communicated very clearly as to when they were ready. Curbside pickup is available, but who doesn't want to spend some time checking out new items on the shelf? The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Check them out!
