If you’ve got a young bookworm in the house—or just want to spark a love of reading—The Kids Bookshop in Leander is a must-visit. This locally owned treasure is all about making books fun, affordable, and accessible for kids of all ages.
After four years of running everything straight out of her garage, owner Ann Kimura has transformed The Kids Bookshop into a beautiful, cozy storefront where families can browse shelves of gently used children’s books instead of digging through boxes.
What makes The Kids Bookshop special?
The shop is packed with gently used children’s books at prices that make parents smile. You’ll also find a selection of new titles, so whether you're hunting for a classic bedtime story or the latest graphic novel, there’s something for every reader.
Deals you’ll love
The Kids Bookshop is all about making books accessible and affordable for every family—and inspiring a lifelong love of reading. Gently used books typically range from $2 to $5, and new titles are often heavily discounted.
The little bookstore is also known for their $1 book sales—perfect for stocking up without breaking the bank. It’s a great way to build a home library or grab a few surprise reads for road trips, rainy days, or just because.
More than just books
The Kids Bookshop isn’t just a place to shop—it’s a cozy, welcoming space where families can browse together, chat with friendly staff, and discover new favorites. There’s even a beautiful, comfy corner just for moms, where they can take a break while their kids play in the dedicated kids’ area. It’s the kind of thoughtful touch that turns a quick stop into a memorable visit.
