There's a children's bookstore near my house that's very unique. It's called the Wild Rumpus. Having the day off, I popped in and took a few pictures so people could see what it's like.
They have critters everywhere! Chickens, cats, chinchillas, ferrets, rats, tarantulas, lizards, doves, cockatiels, etc., All the animals are named after authors and literary figures. There's a Scary Shack inside and a workman who was accidentally plastered in the ceiling during construction! In the bathroom, the mirror is a fish aquarium. There is something to see everywhere you look! Great for inspiration and doing research with children, their parents and the employees, who are all very friendly.
The Wild Rumpus (See the smaller door inside the big door?)
Olive and Pimento
See the workman?
Harry the Tarantula
The Scary Shack. (Not so scary on the outside anymore since it's covered with photos of the many events from visiting authors!)
The Rat in the Floorboards inside the Scary Shack.
Something we can all relate to!
Two manx cats and the two chickens.
Storytime with Harold Bear and Olive the Chicken!
