Santa Claus is coming to town (virtually)! That's right, even 2020 isn't going to keep us from collecting your letters and having a jolly old storytime with Saint Nick. So drop your letters at the store by November 29th for a personal video reply from Santa, and RSVP for storytime on December 12th - Santa's even personalizing a few books for all the nice kids out there.
We've got plenty more holiday cheer where that came from, so don't miss our gift guide, A Precious Child giving tree, and stay tuned for your chance to help us decorate the store and win prizes!
We're also looking forward to Neighborhood Toy Store Day this Saturday with FREE Monster Match games with toy & game purchases of $50 or more! Take a sneak peek of some of our favorites over on Instagram.
We are so incredibly thankful for your support during these trying times (and over the past 6 years - yes, we celebrated 6 years earlier this month). This year has not been easy for small businesses like us, but when you shop local you help our families, your schools, and your communities to make it through this together.
Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and happy rest of the year. Hope to see you in store or at an event (below) soon!

"Doing yoga at home with your kids, can be either wonderful or unimaginably difficult. Sometimes it is smooth and relaxing, sometimes you are a human jungle gym, sometimes they participate for two minutes and then run off, and sometimes they flat out refuse to do it. But the more you do it, and the better the resources you have, the easier it is on you and the more rewarding it is for all of you." CONTINUE READING

Ava says: "'Cinderella' might be a classic, but Cinderella Is Dead is sure to become an anthem. The magic of Cinderella Is Dead lies not with pumpkin carriages or fairy godmothers, but with girls taking control of their own fairy-tale endings, overthrowing toxic patriarchies, and learning to walk like they bear crowns."

Life changes at the orphanage the day seven-year-old Marina shows up. She is different from the other girls: at once an outcast and object of fascination. As Marina struggles to find her place, she invents a game whose rules are dictated by a haunting violence. Written in hypnotic, lyrical prose, alternating between Marina's perspective and the choral we of the other girls, Such Small Hands evokes the pain of loss and the hunger for acceptance.
