Great New Bookstore In WNY!

I just got back from visiting one of my new favorite place in Western New York!  It is a new, locally owned children’s bookstore called Monkey See, Monkey Do.  This new great addition to WNY is located at 9060 Main Street in Clarence.

As if the name is not fun enough, you will not believe how incredible this place is once you walk through the doors.  Inside it has a quaint jungle theme that will leave you looking around at the hand painted murals, wanting to curl up with a zebra blanket and never leave!  For someone who has a deep love for the movie “You’ve Got Mail”, this bookstore is the “Shop Around the Corner” with an adorable monkey presence.  Owner Kim Krug has thought of everything and has made the shop a place that you will want to return to again and again.

The books selection is amazing with books categorized by age group.  All of your favorites can be found with many new titles as well.  There is even a section of books written by local authors.  In addition to the great book selection, you will find a number of adorable, monkey themed gifts for kids.  There are also plenty of nooks to sit comfortably and get lost in your favorite story.

In addition to the great book selection and adorable décor, Monkey See, Monkey Do offers a wide variety of camps and reading programs for kids of all ages.  Children can participate in classes from art to yoga, reading to writing.  The activities are endless!  The bookstore will also be offering a jungle themed summer camp, one on one tutoring, and young author’s camp starting this summer.

I truly believe that this is a place that will be filled with many little monkeys this summer.  It is exactly what WNY needs!  Monkey See, Monkey Do is the perfect place to not only purchase your favorite books, but to also explore reading and learning.  It is a place that I can see myself spending many hours with my children.  

Monkey See, Monkey Do will be celebrating their Grand Opening on Saturday, June 13th from 10am – 4pm.  There are a number of events planned for the day including appearances from local authors, book signings, games for kids and more.  For more information, visit their website at www.MonkeysRead.com.
