Review Detail

DEAR BOOKSTORE celebrates a child's love for books and the magic of bookstores. With everyone turning to ebooks, many smaller bookstores are being forced to close down. While digital libraries are taking over, they can never replace the magic of walking into a bookstore or the smell of a new book. This book reminds readers how intriguing and welcoming physical bookstores are.

For one little girl, she's inspired as soon as she walks into her first bookstore. It's a place where she feels at peace and like she belongs. This book is her way of showing how much she appreciates that little book store filled with magic, dogs, and different worlds. The illustrations are soft and it's a great tribute to bookstores and libraries. In a world where technology is taking over, I love how this picture book brings people back down to earth and teaches children how much fun it can be physically picking out their next read. It might even encourage them to take a trip to their local library or bookstore.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children four and older who have a love for reading and books. It teaches them how much fun it can be to browse the shelves of physical books and the warmth bookstores have.
