Thank you for visiting Childrensbookstore.com. 

Childrensbookstore.com is the best fully independent store on the internet that is 100% dedicated to juvenile literature.  We offer more than 160,000 titles from thousands of publishers.  We can confidently say that if there is a children’s book in print, we have it for sale---at a great price. 

The owners of Childrensbookstore.com have young children, we do a lot of product testing right at home with our own kids.  We know what board books babies will love, which books children will like to read when they leave babyhood and become curious toddlers.  We know that little boys will love books about trucks, girls will love books about numbers and counting and that they will both love books about animals.

With the massive number of titles we have available for kids of all ages, we take the time to find and group the best ones for you. 

Parents and educators want to make good decision with regard to the books they buy for the children they care for.  That’s why we constantly develop favorites list, best sellers lists and new releases lists.

Of course, we can’t forget about award winning children’s books.  We have special categories that list the Caldecott and Newberry award winners going back as long as the titles are still in print.  Award winners tend to have innovative and rich illustrations or innovative stories.  Although children’s literature has been a growing industry for more than 150 years, today’s authors continue to find new ways to present the world to young readers.

One area that we try to focus on is pop-up books.  We are enthralled with pop-up books that the amazing way that the stories literally come off the page and stir the imagination of both young and old.  We are the only site on the internet that has a growing library of videos of today’s best pop-up books and vintage pop-up books.  Please visit the pop-up tab at the top of the home page to see these videos and to see all the wonderful pop-up books that are in print today.

However, buying books for your children is only a part of the process of building literacy in children.  That’s why we have dozens of articles about child literacy, reading activities and reading tips.  Please take time to browse the many articles and activities.  These are time-tested practices and activities that will build strong readers and lay the foundation for a love of books that will last a lifetime.

In order to help you find books that children will want to read and are of the highest quality, we have built categories of today’s best sellers.  You can find these in the tile squares at the bottom of every page of the site.  We also keep things fresh by making weekly staff picks.  These are the books, both old and new, that we like the best for the moment. 

The goal that we have for all of our books is that children will enjoy them with a parent or other caregiver.  There is also that special time when a child begins to seek out books on his or her own.  Young boys tend to gravitate to books about dinosaurs, trucks and animals; girls tend to gravitate to books about colors, stories and the alphabet. 

No matter what you’re looking for, we know that you’ll be able to find just the right book for your young one here.  As stated above, we love children’s books!  Thank you for visiting and happy shopping.
