I would like to recommend Amadito & Friends bookshop in Prague, Czech Republic. It is an international children's book store with over 1000 books in each of the following languages: English, German and French. The owners speak all three languages...plus some Czech...and are amazingly helpful and friendly. They have done an excellent job at designing the store -- it is well-organized, super clean and has a very sleek and modern feel to it but it is also warm, cozy and lively. Plus, they have an event space in the back where they host story times, drama and art workshops - such as oil painting, origami, jewelry and bead making for kids..some salsa, yoga (for kids too) and more. The place is bursting with creativity! Hello! I would like to recommend Amadito & Friends bookshop in Prague, Czech Republic.

Last June we visited the Curious George Bookshop in Boston and thought this to be a pretty wonderful children'gs bookshop, coming home with a few books for Rowan and some suggestions for stock for Katie and Lou. This June we're in Berlin and have a few children's bookshops on our list to look out for. Unfortunately today we couldn'd find Le Matou - no longer at 29 Hausemann Strasse, Prenzlauerberg but did find Mundo Azul International Children's Books at 49 Choriner Strasse, Prenzlauerberg. Wonderful to see a shop full of just children's books in so many languages. Despite luggage problems, there are a few more books destined for Katie, Rowan and Otto... and hope to get to Nimmersatt before the end of the week. My nomination is still on hold.

I just called and they don't have a website unfortunately. While this is not on the scale of that lovely looking place in Beijing, it's a cute little store with interesting toys as well. It's then not too far to head around to Biku on Jalan Petitenget for high tea -- it's not especially child-targeted but they do a lovely tea that little boys and girls in particular are likely to enjoy.

It's definitely a specialty shop and the area of Broadway it's located on includes Melonheads (a kids' hair salon), Just Imagine (a kid's costume shop), plus great bakeries and coffee shops and even a cupcake store. The only problem is it's almost impossible to not buy way more than you planned to when you go there - their staff are true experts in children's literature and they host great author events as well.
