We have for many years had the widest selection (not our words!) of Melissa & Doug wooden toys, puzzles, plush animals, pretend play and art items outside of a full-service toy store. And, this page will probably always feature our history with the "West Wing" and Melissa & Doug.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused havoc with supply and selection and we have scaled back to our original footprint from 2007. We still have a lot for you to find, buy and gift to a child wanting to learn more through play.
To check on-hand stock and reserve a toy, call 815-285-2665 during store hours or write us chin@booksonfirst.com and be sure to include your name, e-mail address and phone#. Or, get in touch with us on Facebook.
