Loved my visit to this charming bookstore! The owner helped me pick out age appropriate books for my niece and nephews. I wish I lived closer so that I could visit more often!!
There's no better place to get lost in a book than here at The Bear and the Books. The Books are thoughtfully curated with. It didn't have the classics I grew up with, but it opened up my eyes to more recent diverse selections of children's literature. The shop clerk was SO helpful and insisted on finding a book on every topic I asked for. I've only ever been cared for like this at a library. I could stay here forever.
Quaint level: 4.5/5
This is one of the best bookstores I have ever visited. And this is coming from someone who plans vacations around interesting bookstores and libraries to visit.
It's *very* well curated. It feels as though the owner has read each and every book. And she'll help you find whatever you're looking for even if all you give her is a vibe. She has the classics, but also so many new titles I never see anywhere else.
This shop is a treasure and contains an abundance of riches. I visit every chance I get and always leave happy.
This is a charming children’s book shop in the lovely town of Hopewell. Owner Bobbie stocks many unique books and will help you find the perfect one for your little one based on age and interests. You won’t find this kind of service at chain stores and Bobbie will gift wrap your selection at no charge. I highly recommend it.
Treat yourself to a lengthy stay at this warm and wonderful house of books. Admittedly, the name was enough to reel me in.
I was welcomed in by the shop's owner, Bobbie Fishman, and chatting with her was in itself worth the visit. Learn her story while there.
In the end I had to limit myself to three books, but every shelf warrants a day's visit. Bobbie is selective in her curation and rightfully so. All titles I took home were ones she had featured; I'm convinced she can anticipate who will walk through that door and sets out just what they've come for.
