about The Children's Book Shop:

There are still some book stores that put a premium on service; not size. The Children's Book Shop, offering a fine selection of books for toddlers to young adults, wrote the book on putting customers first.

Browse the shelves and you'll find unique offerings, including foreign language books and Tintin stories. A large selection of CDs, featuring both popular and classic tales, is perfect entertainment for the long trip to Grandma's house.

Nestled in among the shelves of this compact store are several spots where readers can sit and peek at potential purchases. The latest series books, classics, poetry, and biographies also grace the shelves. Shoppers will find some book-related stuffed animals and dolls too.

tips:

A customer made a special point of telling us about the store's exceptional service. Now that's good.

getting there:

Located 1 1/2 blocks north of Route 9, just west of its intersection with Brookline Avenue. The shop's around the corner from the Brookline Village stop on the Riverside MBTA Green Line.
