This is an incredible bookstore in Manhattan. I stumbled upon Books of Wonder about a year ago while visiting NYC. I was looking for books for my daughter. The staff was incredibly helpful and provided great recommendations. I had such a great experience then that I returned recently with my daughter. Based on my daughter's interests, Rosalind provided us with multiple recommendations while telling us about the story in each book. I don't get this kind of service in my library, nor my local B&N. In my experience, Rosalind's level of professionalism and knowledge is unparalleled. We left with 4 books this afternoon, and my tween already finished one of her murder mysteries tonight. I think we will bs back to visit Books of Wonder soon!

Just amazing! The selection is so wonderfully curated, you can pick almost anything right off the shelf and love it. We got our 3 year a huge selection of books for Christmas and she loves every last one. I highly highly recommend!

What a fun experience! We had the pleasure of story time with KidTimeStoryTime Storyteller and what a pleasant atmosphere! Not only Storyteller, but the cashiers and host (Rosalind I believe?!) were so incredibly patient with every child visiting. The book selection was wide and plentiful. Your young reader will have no problem finding something from their vast selection. A must stop if you’re a local, or visiting!
