It is probably impossible to find a more perfect and cozy childrens book store than Green Bean Books in NE Portland. They have an extraordinary and unique collection of books AND all sorts of other amazing wonders going on here too.. The staff are big readers and love to recommend books they are reading. The owner is also a very talented craftswoman and there are little cubbies you open to discover the most magnificent scenes inspired from childrens books. There is a vending machine with neat little surprises , and the space itself is magical. It looks like a little red house that welcomes you with the best window displays youll find anywhere. Theres a comfy sofa inside and a great deck too to sit outside on sunnier days. t is is also located on a GREAT walking street with plenty of great shops and delicious restaurants.

You are going to love this place and your kids will love it more. There are so many neat things to discover in this cozy space- instant disguise machine for example! They have a well curated collection of childrens books ranging from classic to just published. Check their calendar and visit during a weekly story time or author event.

Fabulous childrens bookstore that packs more into a small space than most bookstores pack into a warehouse. Great curated selection of picture books, chapter books, middle grade, and young adult novels, plus toys. Supports and promotes authors and illustrators with kid-focused readings and events.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, interesting events for kids (land-based synchronized swimmers, fairy day, superhero day, for example), lots of fun books w recommendations from the staff. Worth visiting again and again.

This is an adorable independent bookstore in a great Portland location. They have author visits and special events. Highly recommend a Facebook follow and check out with the kids.

Great store with excellent service! We bought three books in a series, and the next time we went in, not only did they remember us, they had ordered the other two volumes.

Great bookstore with a lot of original zines and unusual books! The vibe is great and the sister-store next to it with all the art books is great too.

A really cute kids book store. We stopped in for a copy of Chis Sweet Home but they didnt have it. We found some other great stuff. I will go back.
