Welcome to the garden. The Story Garden, that is.
Last week, we got an early peek at St. Pete’s first children’s bookstore. Tucked inside a dark blue bungalow in the Historic Uptown neighborhood, the stores stocks books for all ages, games, and toys.
But you won’t have to wait long to shop. Owners expect to start slinging books on Saturday, March 1.
The inspiration? Kathleen Kelly’s charming Upper West Side bookshop, The Shop Around the Corner, in “You’ve Got Mail.”
We’d say it delivers, with a plethora of themed displays, a massive area for storytime, cozy benches, and a side patio for tucking strollers away.
Bring the kiddos along for weekly story hours, child and caregiver classes, book clubs for kiddos, and some good ole’ book browsing.
