Very friendly and helpful staff. Great selection of books and toys. Cant wait to go back again!

Wow! Im so sad I didnt know about this book store sooner! Its much bigger than it looks, and has an AMAZING selection of adult and kids books. The kids section was huge, filled with books, reviews from kids, toys, and TONS of learning resources. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Best kids bookstore ever! Books, toys, games, gifts and other unique things. Has free parking and super friendly folks. Highly recommend checking this one out.

Found this charming gem in my neighborhood and absolutely love it! The abundance of book options is fantastic, and they have an incredible childrens selection, as well as childrens area for playing. Theres a lot of neat gifts here, and they also gift-wrap automatically every book that you buy, if its a gift. Excellent customer service. I cant wait to return! And yes, bring cash for savings on books.

I stumbled upon The Bookies this summer when I was looking for alternative local bookstores to support and, as a teacher, I fell in love with their mission and history. I hadnt been able to shop in-store at the time, but today I went to pick up my most recent online order and finally got a chance to wander around. It was delightful! From a healthy adult section to the plethora of books for all kids to an awesome selection of teacher books, I found my new go-to local bookshop. Ill be back!

The best independent bookstore in Denver. The staff are extremely helpful and they make great recommendations. This is the store to go to for teachers and parents. Its also a great place to get books for friends, adults. And of course yourself!! They even gift wrap. Personal favorite for over 30 years! Truly a one-of-a-kind shop and theyve been great!!!!

If you need a unique book or toy or gift for a child, this is your store.If you need a teachers resource, an in-depth curriculum review, a guide to child development, or an old-style grade-level workbook, this is your store.If you need person-to-person information from a knowledgeable clerk about any book, author, series, or article, this is your store.If you need to know how to use the books and guides and maps in your classroom or with you child, this is your store.If you need cards or dice for a classroom center, or grammar or math posters, or academic games and activities of all shapes, kinds, and sizes, this is your store.We have many great bookstores in the Denver metro area, and two in particular serve teachers and parents well. These are, of course, the Tattered Cover and The Bookies. I love the Tattered Cover, and greatly admire the TCs dynamic outreach to schools and teachers, but The Bookies has the Tattered Cover beat in some important ways.Primarily, the selection at The Bookies is more deep and more rich, and, well, more MORE. They have almost everything for everyone, from beginning books for infants to the best high school fiction or nonfiction, not to mention books for parents, and for adults in general, and especially for teachers. There are so, so many books for teachers. Public school teachers, private school teachers, tutors, home school teachers - Ive seen them all at The Bookies, because they know they will find what they want there.The Bookies has many more books than the childrens department at the TC, and - just as importantly - the store also has more staffers to help customers. I usually encounter one or two staff at most at the TC, but The Bookies always has half a dozen staff on duty, and sometimes more. Almost all the staffers are former or current teachers, too. They are incredibly erudite and very well-informed, and they love to help.Theres one more way in which The Bookies has the edge on its larger competitor: they have better toys, tools, gizmos, and gadgets. Whether you are looking for party favors or classroom prizes, The Bookies is the place for finding the coolest odds and ends.I shop at both stores. I can become a little worried about The Bookies, though. Its not easy to find for some people. The store is housed in a small, undistinguished strip mall with a miscellany of other businesses. But dont be fooled. Inside, is a wonderland.

This bookstore is a refuge! I am grateful for a locally-owned neighborhood bookstore where I can peruse and explore information in an analog environment. The staff are kind and helpful, and they’ll leave you the hell alone when you just want to browse in privacy. The fact that this store is on fire in ratings here and has stayed in business - even after [sc]Amazon essentially monopolized the book (and everything else) market - is a testament of its value to our community. While the primary purpose of this bookstore is educational books (and other realia), it has an admirable selection of conventional adult-oriented books. It also has a delightful array of stationery, home library décor, informative posters, educational toys, and other reading accoutrements. Plus, if your book is not in stock, you can ask this bookseller to order it for you – and support a locally owned business in the process!

Sorry. I cant give 6 stars. Staff is knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, positive and inventory isThe Best.

This is a great local Denver bookstore that has a great selection of books, games and other gifts. I had a list of books from Christmas wish lists, got on their website, easily navigated what they had in stock, ordered and received a call two days later they were ready for pickup. They made it so easy to shop local. Thank you!

Omg I love it here. The selections are endless and ALL the staff are knowledgeable and make a point to help you

The wonderful staff are a delight to talk to if you have questions and their selection of Childrens Books us the Best!!

Great store. They helped me find gifts for my 13 year old nephews. Lots of fun stuff in there.

Expertise by staff superb, selection for books and games is tops at The Bookies! We love going in there to play around.

I ordered from bookies during COVID and was pleasantly surprised! They offer an automatic ten percent discount on the books while ordering online and picking up was awesome. You call a number (once your order is ready) in which they will bring your order out in a paper bag and place on the table by the door. There are designated spots to park and they are wearing mask which I appreciate. Thank you and I will be ordering more to support our local businesses! The staff was also very friendly and wanted to ensure the experience was amazing.

A wonderful place to find a book to enjoy during the covid quarantining. You can walk in or make an appointment. You do sign in when you enter the bookstore with name and phone number during the pandemic. Numerous children books. Nice notecard selection too. I enjoy visiting this bookstore whenever in this area of Denver.

Love this bookstore! So many things to look at!

One of my favorite things about this great bookstore is that it is staffed with a lot of employees who can direct you to just the perfect book!

Best place for childrens picture books in Denver!

This place is amazing. The selection is full of fun surprises and familiar favorites. Theyre very accommodating for events, the staff is friendly, and the cafe always has fun, themed drinks. Highly recommend.

Head in there once and you’ll see why they get 5 stars!! Amazing bookstore but so much more... my go to place for kids toys/gifts.. craft kits and unique things you don’t see everywhere.. lots of nooks and crannies with cool products! Happy they are nearby! ☺️

Their staff were very helpful!

Because of COVID19, couldnt browse much, otherwise would be five stars. They were great with a last- minute gift card purchase

Exceptional knowledge of the learning materials & books they sell!

I love this little book store. Not only are there a ton of books you dont find in Barnes and Noble, the staff is awesome as well. We have attended the story hour a few times and my 2 year old loves it. They have adorable little chairs to sit on and always do a craft or activity to engage the children. And the selection of books is so incredible. My kiddos library is getting amazingly diverse and expansive with each visit we make to this charming book paradise.

Awesome for kids!!

Very busy and congested. The staff was very pleasant.

Really like this store, everyone is pleasant, knowledgeable,helpful & willing to go the extra mile to find what the customer is looking for.😊

I have ordered several puzzles from Bookies during quarantine - their customer service is top notch and they get things mailed out very quickly!

Bookies is THE BEST for kids books, and also for games you can give as gifts. I go there often to buy presents for my grandkids. The staff always suggests good items. And they are amazingly generous, even when I buy lots of items, about wrapping each item, all for free.

Whenever I need a gift for a child—this is where I go. Great games and an extensive children’s book section, plus a staff of avid readers who are thrilled to help you find your next series. Did I mention they gift wrap for free? Nicely curated selection of books for adults as well. Larger discount off list price for paying with cash.

The staff is very friendly, I like this place.MY reccomend you

Love this place for books and toys and neat gifts for people of all ages, but especially kids. Local, eco, inspired items. They could use a bigger space but otherwise its perfect. Go there!

Just happened to see it while eating nearby. They opened early after seeing me peeking into the window. Huge selection, lovely staff and an educators dream.

Personalized assistance and a wide selection make The Bookies the best childrens book store in Denver!!

THE BEST BOOKSTORE!!!!! Unbelievable selection of kids’ books and books (and other items) for educators! Unsure about a purchase? The staff will suggest books, then walk you to the exact spots to find them! Hate to wrap? The staff will wrap for free! Want something for yourself? Pretty good selection for adults, and they’ll order ANY BOOK! Not looking for books? They have games and puzzles for every age! I just love this store!!!!!

The art of the children’s bookstore has been lost in so many communities. The Bookies Bookstore is a rare treasure. Books, game, and puzzles, oh my! The staff is wonderful! You will not be disappointed.

Im an estranged grandpa who is getting in touch with his grandchildren. I had no idea what to bring them when I would visit them. The staff asked me a few pertinent questions. Lead me to the correct area of their store. Made suggestions. Left me to look around. To make a long story short, the grandchildren were very happy with their gifts, the parents had a surprised expression on their faces, and Im in like Flint.

This store offers an excellent selection of books for all levels of readers, from Pre-K to Adult. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Great resource for teacher and home schooling supplies. (And 15% discount for cash...)

I’ve been coming to this bookstore since I was a kid, and now it’s a joy to take my own kids there. The staff is so friendly and take the time to talk with my boys and make wonderful book recommendations that encourage their love of reading!

Absolutely love this store! The staff is friendly and you cant beat the selection of kids books and games.

Me and my daughter LOVE this place. There are so many things there. Its not just a bookstore, youre walking into a whole new world. There are books, of course for people of all ages as well as games, toys, crafts, puzzles, supplies for school. There are amazing interactive things around every corner. You can lose track of time in there. I love it, we find new things every time we visit. The employees are helpful, the prices are great; they even give discounts and have complimentary gift wrapping. I enjoy every moment we go and we go at least once a week. I reccomend this place for everyone.

Every book you could ask for plus great kids toys, plus they gift wrap!...great place to stop day of a bday party

What a great bookstore! My kids love story hour, and it’s a great place for them to foster a love of literature.

This store is amazing. Going to be my first stop anytime I need to buy a gift for someone--especially my children. Sad Ive lived in Denver this long without knowing of its existence!

My favorite bookstore, great selection of books for all ages but especially children and young adults. Also excellent place to buy unique gifts.

Really cool, lots of well-selected books. Their math education stuff in particular is really something special.

Amazing bookstore! Excellent customer service and what a great selection! Do come

Amazing local bookstore! Bring cash to save money on each purchase.Note: This store does not buy used books

Bookies is the best! An employee went to the basement to look for a stuffed kangaroo for me and came back with five choices! The only problem I ever have there isbeing overwhelmed by the great selection.

Super fun bookstore for kids. Lots of fun little toys and games

Great selection of books (all levels) and educational games, materials.

Great bookstore with games, toys and activities for all ages but an emphasis on making learning and reading engaging for children.

I think Bookies is a rare find in this day and age. They have an amazing selection of books, geared toward learning. I love their store!!

Love this place

The Bookies is one of my favorite local book stores. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, and they carry many of my favorite classic childrens books!

Very pleasant, small selection but the do order books also.

If we lived here we would come weekly. Books is one thing we cant live without and this place had so many options. There arent bookstores like this anymore.

Great independent bookstore focused on children and teachers.

The bookies is a cute little shop that has great games like Belz that you cant find at target Walgreens Walmart and all the other company stores . The bookies also has great books like the witch series that every myself and all kinds of other cool box that they recommend the staff there is very kind

The best bookstore in Denver!

Incredibly helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere, one of the best book stores I have ever been to.

This is the most magical and wonderful place in the world. im not a fan of reading, but the whole place makes my inspiration alive.

This is my favorite book store in town

Super cute and lots of inventory.

Dont listen enough and jump into conclusions. No explanations.

To messy, poor selection of manga and prices were too high.

Best little book store in Colorado
