We're visiting from Delaware and happened to stumble into this absolute gem of a toy store--what a…read moretreat! Little Village Toy & Book Shop is packed with nostalgic charm. They had so many classic toys we remember from our own childhoods, plus an incredible selection of stuffed animals, games, and books for all ages. The staff was genuinely the kindest--so friendly and welcoming, they made us feel right at home. And the real star of the show? Luna, the shop dog. She's the sweetest, fuzziest little mascot, and we could've sat on the floor petting her all day (honestly, we almost did). If you're in town, don't skip this spot. Whether you're shopping for a gift, looking for a blast from the past, or just want to say hi to Luna, it's 100% worth the stop!

There was nothing in there of interest to anyone in our family. If you are into gaming or graphic novels, this is your place.

Nestled…read moredowntown just off Main Street with a nice parking lot, it looks like a cute and cozy home, beckoning you to enter. Inside is much larger and book displays are well designed and thought out, enticing and encouraging you to peruse for your next reading adventure. The owner works hard to curate books from every genre, staying on top of current best sellers, while also offering a great section of local Vermont authors (of both fiction and nonfiction) , games, cookbooks, stationary. There is something for everyone's tastes and preferences. The owner and employees are all very friendly and knowledgeable. They'll gladly order what you'd like if you can't find it in stock. She often hosts events, so follow their Facebook page to learn more. Prices are reasonable and it's always hard to walk out with "just one more book." The store is located next to a lovely coffee shop: perfect combination for a new book to take with you as you sip and dine. If you live local or just visiting, I encourage you to see all they have to offer. Supporting indie booksellers is so important and also rewarding. You won't be disappointed.

I ended up grabbing a few, plus a fun magnet, and they also had a couple local art prints. The inside is super charming, a cozy, feel-good stop whether you're looking for a new read or just a small souvenir.

To top it off, the staff was really sweet. Don't miss out on this downtown Stowe treasure!
