A World Apart
Tuesday, November 15, 2005
Storyopolis is a small bookstore, but they've put together such a great collection of books that you'll want to buy more here than at a bigger bookstore. I have gotten my niece and nephew some amazingly wonderful and unique books that they can cherish and pass on to their kids someday.. They also sell art (mostly illustrators' original works for children's books.) There are also special readings that you can call ahead and buy tickets for. The customer service is terrific, if you need help with anything you just have but to ask the knowledgeable staff (they claim to read every book that comes in!) You can come in on a Saturday for themed events involving arts and crafts, or attend any of the weekly activities (that include readings by celebrities!) and craft hours. They also have parties there and the staff will handle the theme, entertainment, food and favors. A bit pricey at $800 for a two hour party for 20 kids, but will probably be something the kids will never forget.
