Love this book store! Great selection of childrens books and a wonderful staff to help you find what you are looking for.
I have been a customer of Cover to Cover for years and was sad to see the store relocate to Upper Arlington. However, it is worth the drive for the amazing selection of childrens and young adult books. And the staff never lets me down with their recommendations. I can tell them books that my kids, nieces and nephews enjoy and they always point me in the right direction.
Cover to Cover is a beautiful little store with a great selection of books and caring and responsive staff. They have a very active special events calendar with lots of kids activities and are supportive of both local and national authors. If they don’t have a book in stock, they’ll order it. A magical place and my go-to for all kids books and literature. Fun totes and toys as well.
On 1-25-2020, I attended a childrens book reading by author Brian Wray at Cover to Cover Childrens Books at its new location in the Old Arlington neighborhood of Upper Arlington. The Old Arlington neighborhood of Upper Arlington is anything south of W. Lane Ave. Cover to Cover Childrens Books had previously been located in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus.I have not been a child for approximately 60 years and I am not a parent so I have had only minimal interaction with childrens literature for many decades. I live only 1½ miles away from Cover to Cover Childrens books so I had been able to walk there [even though it had been late January -- but evidently had been sufficiently warm -- that day].The area near the back of Cover to Cover Childrens Books had been filled with many people [most of them children sitting on the floor but there had also been adults sitting on chairs]. The next paragraph is quoted from the official description of the book that Brian Wray had read and discussed that day.Talking about mental health issues is daunting. Often, just starting the conversation is the hardest part. With his latest book, Max’s Box, Brian Wray offers children and grown-ups a way to begin these important discussions. Through simple story-telling and cartoonish illustrations, Wray gives his readers a glimpse into what can happen when emotions are suppressed. He also demonstrates how, with the help of people who care, we can learn to express, and then let go of, the things that hold us back.Cover to Cover Childrens Books is a well-designed space with a great selection of childrens books. I highly recommend Cover to Cover Childrens Books.
Just an amazing place for young and old (but especially the littles!). Authors read their books to kids at story times on the weekends. The small shop abounds with an amazing selection of books and gifts and wonderful places to read or sit.If that wasnt enough, which frankly it is, the staff are more like curators and guides. Thats likely due to the vision of the stores founders who are amazing.Thank you for this neighborhood gem. This gem is just to good to keep to myself so I decided to write this review. Check the website for events, come for no reason other than a love of books, or stop by for great gifts for the kids in your life. You will not be disappointedDisclaimer: I detest giving everything a 5 star (3=adequate/average, 4=really great; mostly my reviews get those ratings) so this place really is top notch!!
A really cute bookstore that my family and I love going to. Mrs. Meyers gave me some great suggestions on books for my two year old. I talked to Mrs. Meyers about concepts we were trying my two year old and she mustve pulled at least 10 books on those concepts. We never felt rushed to leave or pressure to buy anything. We took our time reading the books to our 2 year old and picked the ones we liked the best. Highly recommend this bookstore! Mrs. Meyers-thank you so much for your help and recommendations!
I went in here a few weeks ago looking for Spanish childrens books, they did not let me down. They have a variety of childrens books from new to old school. I would recommend this book store to anyone who has little ones in their life :) the staff is very kind, patient and helpful!

Amazing childrens book store in the heart of UA. Perfect match for the mallway. The owner greeted us as we walked up to the door, she helped find a selection of books and even read to my daughter while we made our decision. Well definitely be going back.
The finest bookstore in Upper Arlington (and maybe the best in Central Ohio)
Every neighborhood should have a bookstore that is this amazing. We go in there and just get lost in the wonderful world of kids books.Between our soon who is an elementary teacher and our granddaughter we never walk out empty handed.

2021-06-21Such a sweet little shop. They have a nice diverse collection of kids books. I came in not realizing it was a kids store, looking for an Ohio native plant guide. But the associates were so helpful anyway! They can order you basically any book, they just stock kids books on the shelves.

2021-06-06I agree with some of the other reviews that say this is the best Children’s bookstore in Columbus, however I would actually say this is the best children’s book store in the country! We have been to some great ones in LA, San Francisco, DC, Raleigh, and more. The friendly service, great selection, impeccable organization system, and separate area for older readers makes this truly the best kids bookstore in the country.
