Take Your Kid

Or take the kid in you there

The aisles are nice and wide so you can easily bend down or kneel to see the books on the lower shelves.

There’s room to sit and look at books in the big aisles too. There’s room for strollers.

I don’t go in there enough. When I do, I say I should come once a week. There’s good coffee and sweets and a few sandwiches in a little café area. Some arty high schoolers were sitting in there when I was there. That was cool, too. There are books for kids like them in the store.  There are first editions and famous illustrations for sale in back.

It’s Books of Wonder, like the bag says, on 18^th Street between 5^th and 6^th, south side of the street. See you there maybe.
