about Calliope:

Store closed. In the heart of Harvard Square, Calliope has been amusing shoppers with its whimsical and highly entertaining windows for years. Displays feature stuffed animals as "interior duckerators" and the "Lizards of Oz". Windows outside; adorable clothes inside. Calliope offers outerwear and everyday wear in fabrics and patterns that are bright and cheerful, for children size newborn to 6X. Accessories, such as hats, mittens, hair stuff, and mini baubles abound. The store carries the popular Elephaten line of shoes, and the staff is helpful about sizes and recommendations. It is impossible to ignore the extensive collection of stuffed animals and puppets. Calliope also carries selected infant toys and Brio; the toys and animals occupy half of this little store. The clothes are great, but the inventory is rather small. Sales are end of season in July and January. Call for details.

tips:

The Coop for Kids, located around the corner, is worth a stop. Curious George Goes to Wordsworth deserves a visit too.
