Words on Warren- Children's bookshop | Manhattan, NY

Hands down the best children’s bookshop in the city.

This new children’s bookstore is wonderfully cozy, with ample nooks, chairs, and benches that invite families to linger and read together. The book selection is thoughtfully curated across all ages—board books, picture books, titles for new parents, and even young adult reads—featuring many that aren’t easy to find at the library. One standout was the dedicated transportation section that completely captivated my toddler. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay far longer than planned. It’s much welcome especially after Barnes & Noble in the area closed.

This is the cutest children's book store with a wide selection of young picture books to older chapter books, Words on Warren has it all. My son loved the nostalgic typewriter in the back. We picked up 3 books, the staff was so friendly and we loved the bag we got to hold our books. If you're in Tribeca, with your kids, this is a must visit!

I don’t care how crazy I sound but this place makes me excited at the prospect of having children 😭🩷 It is so cozy and so nice and the staff are wonderful. Great place to buy small gifts if you know any kids and they have small reading areas

An incredible gem in our family-friendly neighborhood. It was highly anticipated and with good reason - the book selection is top notch, staff friendly and inviting and ambience is warm and calm... makes my kids want to curl up in a corner and read a book. Precisely what we needed more of in our neighborhood!
