A decent selection of books. I haven’t really looked at book stores here in BC much besides the one at Metro Mall, but this one had some good books for kids. I bought a few and there were even French books.(Remember, I’m visiting from California). Great spot, can be cramped if people have strollers(we all have kids, so it’s a free pass) and the girl I talked to was very friendly.

Book store inside the Kids Market on Granville Island. I walked in here with a smile on my face as I saw an arrangement of Mr Men books, the books that I grew up with. Sadly they didn’t have Mr. Bump which would’ve been appropriate considering that I walked into a wall on the way out the store. The Mr Men books were extremely reasonably priced at $ 5, cheapest I’ve seen anywhere. They also had a Pingu DVD!!! Customer service was awesome.

Love it! Great little store in the middle of the kids market. I found some excellent classics that I grew up on — Roald Dahl’s Revolting rhymes! So great to visit them again as a grown up… and acknowledge how dark they are. Great customer service too.

* I felt like all the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t help me find the right gifts for them… Then I found Humpty Dumpty. * Ok, so I needed a gift for my friend’s kids. I wanted it to have a bit of a Canadian flavour to it, as they don’t live in Canada. I searched around at a lot of bookstores and toystores and couldn’t find something that I really liked(or more importantly that I thought the kids would like). Humpty Dumpty to the rescue. I braved the crowds and screaming kids in the Kid Market and found the perfect little books for the kids at Humpty Dumpty — with a nice Canadian flavour to them! Mission accomplished — and no great fall!

Humpty Dumpty sells all kinds of cool books for kids. They have a lot of educational books, popular books, and sticker books. They also have some small musical instruments, CDs and tapes.
