Teaching Children to Observe

Painting by Renoir, The Children of Martial Caillebotte (1895)

For our mission please see About Us and for our background Come On In.

Basically it comes down to this. We love reading and think it is one of the most important gifts a child can enjoy today. In the crush of our busy lives, the joy and value of reading can sometimes be pushed to the side by glitzier but less fulfilling activities. We want to make it possible for those that love children and reading to easily and quickly find those books most likely to appeal to a particular child and their special interests. And finally, we started this site as a means of building a community of those with whom we have often had the most rewarding conversations; people that love reading and children's books.

We use one of the premier book distributors, Baker & Taylor, for most of our order fulfilment. They maintain seven warehouse across the US to minimize mailing costs and delivery times for our customers.

There are a small number of items from specialty publishers or from overseas publishers which we stock ourselves and mail directly from Georgia.
