If you have not been to the Reading Reptile, you really should go. They are an independently owned children’s bookstore. They are trying to stay afloat, but it is not easy. We try and go there at least three times a year. There is a toy and science store next door and a Baskin Robbins next to that, so you could easily make an outing out of it. My kids can hang out/read/play in the bookstore for at least a good hour there is so much to do in there. It is in Brookside. Here are some pics to entice you…
They have fun places for the kids to sit and read. They even have a “secret” reading hole which my boys love.

You can never tire of looking at things in this place. There is a lot to look at.
