Although we keep our Barnes and Noble buying card up to date at all times, and do indeed profit from their buying program, what we truly love most about B&N are the trains in the children's section...they have provided entertainment and a much needed bribe on shopping trips (if you'll be good while mommy shops, we'll go and play with the trains...). Naturally, mommy always gets a Starbucks on the way through the store...but it's okay if the kids think the stop is all about them....then it's fine to sit in the chairs and read stories together. By the time you leave the store (having undoubtedly picked up a magazine and two books you've been wanting to check out...) everyone is happy.
