Melissa & Doug Items on Our Shelves (and Floor & Tables & Piano & Windows)

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
