Others to Consider: Children's Book Shop, Henry Bear's Park, The Blue Bunny, Bearly Read Books, Wellesley BooksmithWillow Books is a suprisingly large, well-stocked, independent bookseller with titles of varying subjects, including a large selection of books for kids, from children's picture books to a good young adult section.
It's an attractive, open bookstore with a pleasant atmosphere and knowledgable staff. The store hosts a number of special events including story hours, jazz nights and more. You can pick up a seasonal calendar that outlines many of their upcoming events.
The Children's section is in the back of the store, and features bright, accessible displays of staff favorites along the walls, as well as an assortment of puzzles & games. There is also a fish tank for little ones to gaze at.

Convenient & friendly, but a little expensive, Fri 5 Aug 2005
This is actually a very pleasant store, and convenient if you live in the Acton/Boxborough, Concord & North Sudbury areas. Their staff is very helpful & friendly. Their book selection is good, but not as extensive as, say a Barnes and Noble. Although they are very happy to order most selections for you if they don't have them in stock. One drawback is that they don't really run discounts like the bigger chains to either. But overall, if you are in a pinch and need a quality children's book on short notice - Willow Books is a good bet. The fish tank in the back of the store kinds of cool, too.
