Adorable little shop full of children's and young adult books. They have something for everyone and include books in other languages to ensure inclusion. They recently hosted John G (Noodle the pugs owner) for a book reading and signing and the entire place is charming. Whether you have kids, nieces/nephews/nibling or are just looking for a small business to support I cannot recommend Hipocampo enough!

Omg this place rules. I had never been here before but once we did I really can’t wait to go back/take my kids back. It was wonderfully curated and stocked and I think I’m going to buy all my kid-gifts here.

Reliably thoughtful selections for all ages. An owner who took the time to recommend his favorites (and who reads almost everything they sell!) Stay off Amazon, get on down to Hippocampo!

I absolutely loved the atmosphere in this store! I wanted to find a beanbag chair and just hibernate here. It is mostly a children's bookstore but the young adult reading is right up my alley, complete with Black and Brown authors, and a whole section of books in Spanish. The artwork and atmosphere was right up my alley!

Bought a very new book called "The longest letsgoboy" and it's an amazing book. That aside, it's a small shop with an amazing vibe and a great logo. The owner is incredibly nice and really cares about the books he stocks, a great addition to South Ave and that's saying alot! Check it out even if you don't want a children's book.

This bookstore is a hidden gem. The owners are especially wonderful. There is an excellent selection of children's literature. Whether you are shopping for a gift, for yourself, or as a teacher looking to order books for your classroom, this establishment is incredible.
