I love this store! An old fashioned bookstore filled with great books for kids. A nice small locally owned business, and not your typical big box experience. Classics and soon to be classics, chosen wisely. A comfortable chair.The owner is very nice and can order you any title that you want. Very kid friendly. I like going to the coffee shop nearby (at the front of the strip mall) and enjoying some books with my kids afterwards. A Book Above is located in the back of the shopping strip, between the montessori school and the elder care service.

I cant say enough about how refreshing it is to have such a shop near us. 1st of all its cozy and quaint and then the service is perfect. The owner goes out of her way to help you select the perfect book for anyone, and if she doesnt carry it in stock at the moment, she orders it right away. They also host fun events in the store on a regular basis to help support literacy efforts and those in the community who dont have enough access to books. We are very fortunate to have a store owners who cares so much.

A Book Above is a cute and cozy childrens bookstore located in Elmhurst. They have a variety of books to choose from and can order anything youd like. The store offers toddler story times, has guest readers and speakers, and collects donations for a literacy program called Readers Ignite. The owner Carolyn is passionate and will go out of her way to help you find exactly what youre looking for. Ive had nothing but great experiences at A Book Above!

A Book Above is a great little book store in South Elmhurst. I have purchased books for myself and my grandchildren. Carolyn is very knowledgeable about childrens books and will guide you into the perfect selection. She also runs a literacy not-for-profit so shes giving back to the community, too! You wont regret using A Book Above for your reading needs. If she doesnt have a book in stock, she will order it! A local business you wont regret visiting.

A wonderful bookstore with a very knowledgeable owner. Carolyn Carrillo has created a gem of a store in which busy parents can quickly find exactly the book they need to help their children develop and grow. Its also a great place to order those "hard to find" books that you fell in love with as a child.

With a mission to showcase literacy and books right in the community, this shop offers unique books, and service to cater to families. This shop partners with a childrens literacy nonprofit, Readers Ignite. By doing so, more kids in the broader area have a chance to connect with great books!

Thoughtfully put together, with child hood favorites from "Just Me And My Dad", Dr. Seuss, "I Love You Through And Through", to Joyce Meyer, and Phil Vischer! Refreshing to visit an actual bookstore, and reading through the content, as opposed to just sifting through books on Amazon.
