    We got to explore this adorable bookstore while big sis was at camp. There was so much to love about it - the decor was full of wonder & imagination. There were little reading nooks, a secret door leading into a teeny tiny private reading space, art on the walls/floor/ceiling celebrating literary favorites, and classics remade with beautiful, updated artwork and covers. I would highly recommend if you're passing through Monroe, GA. They also have cute dresses/costumes for sale anddd a candy/ice cream shop 2 shops down

    This is an incredibly unique store. If you're a parent, you like to read, and you live within 100 miles, this place is a must-see. Ambience: When you first walk in, it might strike you as a very modern and well kept children's bookstore. It's quiet. It's clean. It's whimsical. A closer examination reveals an attention to detail and delight that rivals Disneyland. There is a Hobbit's hole. The Narnia wardrobe opens to reveal a larger space. Sherlock Holmes's residence includes a traditional Victorian design. Value for money: It's hard to measure that here. You get something that no other store has (I'd be hard pressed to find a store even in neighboring states that had ambience like this) and I'm sure the book prices are about average. Service: Service is top notch here. There are several very enthusiastic book readers who will guide you through your first experience here and give you pointers on what to go check out next. They are very kid friendly, and they encourage their environments to be used. Summary: Whether you're a kid (at heart) from 8 to 80, if you like books - and the fantastical environments they describe - you owe it to yourself to check this place out. This is worth the trip from across town.

    This is place is unbelievable! No matter your age, if you're a kid at heart you will love this place! Its a children's book store with a small section of classic books. The also host Birthday parties, all you do is bring the food! There are several different reading nooks and large room that you enter through a huge clothing wardrobe! Literally like being in a story book! It's totally worth the drive!

    Spent a day in Athens while on a roadtrip recently and as always, I have to check out a local…read morerecord shop. Low Yo Yo is a brief walk away from the historic 40 Watt Club and near plenty of dining and drinking choices. While a relatively small store, it's packed wall to wall with a lot of records! I was particularly impressed by the great selection of catalogue titles they have--I always have a running list of records I'm looking for and often these are not present in my local shops. Many, if not most, of what I looked for WAS present here. Often a new title, shrinkwrapped and priced accordingly--but fairly/within market range. They did have some original pressings and used items, but overall their used items seem to be vastly outranked by their new items. However, I can't quite be sure of that as beyond the row of newly arrived used items all others are filed with their new counterparts. I like the overall organization of this store--by genre, by artist, and often within an artist's section all of the solo and sideprojects of a group are present and accounted for. There's also a pretty sweet local artists section (including REM) near the register. Friendly service, cool shop, would definitely make this a regular stop if I lived in the area.

    Great little record store. Some gems to be found. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. Well…read moreworth a visit.

They also sell beautifully made gifts for those who maybe looking for a birthday gift for someone they don't know very well. When I came in I was greeted by a very nice woman who said hello and bowed to me. The store itself is pretty decent size and extremely organized. Although I didn't make a purchase this time I wouldn't mind coming in again next time I'm in the area. 1334th review 4/27/2018 254th for 2018
