Mr Otto's Bookstore

I ran into this shop looking for Wayside School books and haven't needed to look anywhere else. Great selection of classics! I love that I can find something I never knew was ever in print and its so exciting to happen upon the books that I would have never remembered having read as a child otherwise.Great place to start if you, too, are trying to employ a screen-free form of entertainment for your family. Shop is ran and owned by Taz a 6-year-old dingo, and his human Mr. Otto, a retired high school teacher who suffers from bibliomania. Having a conversation with Mr. Otto is like flipping through an encyclopedia - though not always the right one, at first. But guaranteed, you'll learn something new!!! Awesome character! He and Taz held my 6-year-old's attention while I flipped though the shelves. We are definitely going to be repeat customers!

Mr. Otto is a very kind man. He enjoys sharing his love for books. Story time is a lot of fun for kids and adults. Added bonus is meeting sweet Tazzy, his extra precious pup. My husband, our daughter and our two granddaughters highly recommend Mr. Otto's Bookstore! Great fun for the entire family. We will definitely return often.

My friend brought me to this store, me and my toddler loved it. Mr otto was so kind and patient. He has tons of wonderful books with great prices. I bought some of my childhood books that Im so excited to read to my son! Definitely coming back for more.

Brought my six year old in today. I saw some blocks and asked how much they were but the store owner said he wants to sell them to a math teacher. Okay? So they're not for sale?Then he asked me how much I want to pay for them. Uhhh... now all of a sudden I have to price your items for you?I looked on eBay and they're $6 for 200 pieces and he wanted us to count. When I informed him of this, he wanted us to count the blocks. Every. Single. Block. Who does that?I rather buy them on eBay than at this store. Indecisive owner, wants others to price his items for him. A lot of these books are way overpriced. I much rather patronize other thrift stores in town that sell just as good literature for a fraction of the price.

Mr. Otto's book store is a great children's bookstore. I was able to find the "No, David!" children's book by David Shannon. There are also a lot of picture books, Dr. Seuss books, chapter books such as Harry Potter series (I recently saw today), goosebumps etc. There are lot of educational children's books as well for math and history. Mr. Otto also has a great sense of humor and is very helpful. You should definitely stop by and check it out, you might find a hidden gem in there!

So many books, you'll definitely get lost in here. You'll find quality, previously loved reading for your little ones. Mr. Otto is welcoming and friendly. The shop has a wide selection that is constantly being refreshed by teachers retiring and kids advancing in their reading skills. Definitely my new go to spot for buying children's books in town.

Tons of children's books at great prices and the customer service is great. The two men there were beyond helpful but also funny, kind, and generous!

This is the best kid's bookstore. I read kids books despite being 24. I love how nice the owner is. The store is clean and organized and well decorated.

I worked for Mr. Tim Otto as a volunteer worker for several months. I helped him organize his book store after the pandemic crisis. It was a difficult task to take. But I have some impeccable organization skills and a previous educator with 20 years of experience.Working for Mr. Otto was a dream job for me. His knowledge of books and customer services were superb. Great job, Mr. Otto

This is a wonderful business. Not to be missed if you have kids. Mr. Otto Is a very engaging proprietor. His love of children's literature is so apparent. I know now that is a necessary stop when I'm shopping for my grandkids.
