The best place for great books and music for kids. . . and their parents!

I finally discovered All for Kids when my youngest turned two. That was two years too late. I love the wise and friendly staff, and I do all my b-day present shopping there. And, who can argue with supporting an indie book seller? They have AWESOME suggestions if you aren't sure what to buy.

All for fun--and education and just because

The minute you step in the door of All for Kids, it's like your childhood--only much, much better--is being revisited. There are colorful displays from the walls to the floor, huge collections of books on tape/CDs, three racks of hand puppets (three racks!) and more rolls of stickers than your average stationery store. What the store specializes in, though, (besides keeping kids and grown-ups alike amused) is books. Books, books, as far as the eye can see. Staff and reader recommendations abound (looking for the perfect bedtime book for your five-year-old? Look no farther), as well as places to cozy up to. The benches and forts that space out the store are nearly irresistible. (In our case, it was irresistible. See the photo: http://images.judysbook.com//53/64/00/1006453_orig.jpg ) All for Kids is sheer delight. All for Kids also has an event room, decorated with writings all over the walls. The list of visiting authors would leave some national bookstore chains green with envy. It's clear that the All for Kids is interested in fostering readership. I love All for Kids. I don't have kids, but I love this store. I could come here to look for gifts, but I think any occasion I have to stop by this store (located right behind the UVillage) will be one that I take. All for Kids is all for fun-loving grown-ups, too.

#1 Children's Bookstore

When I was younger my mother used to take me to All for Kid's Books and Music several times a month to let me loose amongst the shelves and shelves of books. I really appreciate my mother for instilling the importance of reading in my life and All for Kid's was a great tool for doing so. The bookstore is chock full of new classics (Harry Potter displays included), yet still stocked with old classics and series (Nancy Drew, Boxcar Children, Goosebumps!). They organize the store well and it is easy to find an age/reading level appropriate book. All for Kid's is independently owned, no big chain logos here, and therefore the store actually has a bit of personality and class to it. Great childhood experience!

Full of wonderful surprises

Every time I go into All For Kids with my kids, we leave with armloads of books. We go there because I know that they will have that unique gift or just the right book to answer a need or interest in my family (when my daughter wanted to know more about anatomy, for example - try explaining that to a 3 year-old without an age appropriate book!). The service is wonderful. They are happy to help you find just the right book for that special situation. And while we are there looking for a specific book, we find many other treasures that we won't find in any of the big book stores.

Awesome Kids' Book Store

I love to support the independent bookstores, and this one is worth the trip. The staff is so helpful and knowledgeable. A great place for kids' books, music, and toys. They also have story hour for preschool-age kids on Tuesdays at 10:30. Yippee!
