Wild Rumpus is a great book store. Love the setup, the variety of books, the book related merchandise. Then you add great staff and fun animals to visit. Love going to their weekly Storytime! They work hard to make it fun and engaging for the kids.

One of our favorite book stores in the Twin Cities! We live 30 minutes north, but still love making the trek. The selection and experience are always worth it.

A very cute bookstore with cats snoozing happily in the window displays, chinchillas snuggling each other, and an entertainingly vocal parrot (cockatiel?). They have such a great selection of books for all ages.I will say that it may be challenging to bring in a mobile child under the age of 2. My kid enjoyed running down the aisles and whipping out as many books as possible while I frantically tried to put them back and prevent further chaos. The pint-sized door was a huge hit. They could have opened and shut it all day if I had any patience left. Good luck out there, fellow parents of toddlers!

What a sweet bookstore! Helpful staff, great selection, and a fun, interactive environment for kids. Make sure your little ones use the "mini door within a door" to come inside, and scout the place for the animals, cute nooks and spaces, and of course, wonderful books. There's truly something for every reader here. I didn't need any books for kids this time (I went with a friend who did need a gift for a child) and I still walked out with a couple of stories just too lovely to pass up, that might become gifts for kids at upcoming occasions after I'm done reading them myself...

Just one question: Why would you keep a cat THAT BITES in a CHILDREN'S bookstore? My seven year old daughter left the store in tears after she was bitten by one of the cats. She approached the cat gently with her hand extended and it reached out and bit her. The storekeepers had no reaction and no sympathy. They didn't even do anything to deter a toddler who approached the cat just a few minutes after my daughter was bitten! We used to love this bookstore and recommended it far and wide, so this was kind of heartbreaking for both my daughter and myself.

This shop was steeped in a sense of childhood wonder and undeniable joy! Everything- the book collection, friendly staff, decor and animals- created a magical environment one could happily become lost in.

Delightful, whimsical, thoughtfully stocked independent bookstore. Big fan of the year round spooky section and large multilingual section. Get books about little ghosties for the little ones in your life.Visited on independent bookstore day and purchased a few books for my niece. Also grabbed an advance reader copy of a book for myself (free) which was an exciting bonus.Primarily a bookstore for younger readers but adults will enjoy a walk through this shop too!

Terrific selection of books for the little'uns. Even their own kid-size door in the middle of the big people's door. Resident herd of Manx(naturally tailless)roams about looking for laps to share(if you are REALLY lucky & among the chosen few). This place IS the cat's meow!!

This is a great place to find books for all ages. There is something for everyone, including a resident cat and I have heard, gerbil or hamster? There are hosted events, /book readings and other activities to watch for as well.

This was a great bookstore to take our kids. They had a great time viewing the animals and all of the books.

Magical place for kids and grownups alike! Their chicken has flown the coop (metaphorically speaking) and retired to farm life, but they still have a few other critters of the four-legged and winged varieties. Lots of fun for kids to explore!

This is such a cool bookstore for kid books. There are animals throughout, the front door is kid-sized, and such a huge selection! And prices are also really good for the stuff we looked at! We look forward to returning later!
