I LOVE this place! Gift cards are great gifts...and one of the co-owners is a friend, so I buy the gift cards so more people will shop there.

It's not just a bookstore. It's got great character, helpful employees, an expansive inventory - and the available scoops of great ice cream by Jake's is an added bonus.

Little Shop is a little gem. The employees are all committed adults that have a love of children's literature. Strong on picture books and fiction--a little weaker on non-fiction. They will order anything you want. It reminds me of the cute bookstore in the film "You've Got Mail" that was about to be destroyed by a big box bookstore. In other words, the place has heart.

This is an all-around great place for families. My two girls (8&5) always find something they like there - books, toys, gifts. Sometimes they just sit and read while I shop. Great selection of a wide variety of young adult and adult reading too. Good book reviews and very knowlegeable and friendly staff. Kids storytimes are a great time for adult shopping or just plain quiet time for busy moms.

This is a great store. While my kids look for books, I can peruse the diverse selection of adult books. They also have great educational games, in addition to great kids' books. The staff have recommended books for my children that were great hits. Also, they will order any book, so if I am looking for something, and want to support a local business, I can get the book I want. The ice cream shop is a great bonus too.

This is the kind of children's bookstore that makes me wish I were a kid again. The staff reallly knows books and helps with additional suggestions that I've found to be right on target. For example, they reccomended Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy for my son Matt who is a Harry Potter fan. We read the series aloud and both just loved it. Also, the store has cozy places to sit and try on a book or two and shares space with an ice cream shop! If you're anywhere near Decatur, GA, give this place a visit.
