PORTLAND'S OLDEST INDEPENDENT CHILDREN'S BOOKSTORE

"Helping to raise readers for over 40 years!"

Celebrating over forty years of “raising readers,” we offer a wide selection of children's books for readers from newborn to young adult. We even have a corner for "Mom & Dad" books (e.g., regular fiction and non-fiction; parents, too, need a good book now and then!)

In addition, we have a well-stocked array of parenting and educational titles as well as toys, games, and cards. Our specialty is our knowledgeable staff! We take pleasure and pride in helping you find the just the right book for the child in your life. A Children's Place Bookstore is a full service bookstore: we are happy to order any title for you if it is still in print.

Our History

ABOUT A CHILDREN'S PLACE BOOKSTORE

A Children's Place Bookstore has quietly become one of Portland's hidden treasures.

What started out as a hobby has now become a passion and we're delighted to share it with you. We’re proud of our tradition of "raising readers" for over four decades. And we look forward to continuing our work for years to come!

Our love for our bookstore drives who we are and what we do. Every. Single. Day.
