Your kids will love having their own bookstore to visit instead of just shuffling to the back of the local Barnes & Noble. Children In Paradise offers one of the largest selections in Chicago of books, CDs, software, and videos for kids of all ages.
All your favorite children's authors are here, from Dr. Seuss, J.K. Rowling, Mother Goose, Roald Dahl and the rest. They offer a huge variety of titles from the classics like "Charlotte's Web" to new favorites like "Captain Underpants".
Offering children's story hours on various days throughout the week and just west of the Magnificent Mile, a visit here is a nice reward for your children after dragging them around shopping all day on Michigan Avenue.
