Children's Area

We take a particular pride in our selection of children's literature at The Book Man.  With over 15 000 beautifully organized titles to peruse both in our children's section in Chilliwack and throughout our store, and thousands more at our Abbotsford branch, young readers will find a variety of topics to sink their teeth into. 

Classics like Nancy Drew, or newer favourites such as Captain Underpants each live in their own sections. Horse crazy? We have a horse section! Into sharks? We've thought of you as well! We've applied the same outstanding organization to our kids' books that we utilize in the rest of our store.

Both of our stores have a special children's area complete with tiny chairs and bins of toys, making it a pleasure for children to play and read while you browse.  Between that and our friendly, tolerant bookstore cats, your children will find lots to keep them busy.

Children ages 12 and under are invited to join our Kids' Club!  By doing five book reports about their most recent literary conquests, they can earn a free book, and qualify to have a photo shoot with our bookstore cat to be placed on our website (with a parent's permission) or simply have it emailed to them for their own keeping.  They're also entitled to a free book on their birthday!  Details can be found here.

All of our staff were avid readers as children, and are always excited to be able to connect young readers with new titles & authors.  Feel free to ask for an age appropriate recommendation!

The Book Man provides a unique opportunity to teach children about the value of reusing, and recycling.  They can bring their gently used books in, and establish a trading credit account to help them save money on their next purchases.  Lessons of taking care of your things, being frugal, and participating in the sub-culture of exchanging used books will stay them for the rest of their days!  We also love having school field trips come through our bookstore!

In our opinion, reading to your children is one of the greatest gifts that you can provide.  Having books in your home, and setting time aside for reading is the singlemost important factor for your child's success in early education.  We believe in the importance of early years literacy, both for academic success, and the development of imagination.
Series such as Franklin, Robert Munsch, Clifford & Serendipity. Read.  Read.  Read some more!
