On Saturday we made a family trip out of going to Toronto's newest comic book store; Little Island Comics. What an amazing place! Little Island Comics is North America's only comic shop for kids and it is so perfect I have to wonder why there isn't one in every city. It is packed with the best kids comics, from manga to superheroes to European. And there was a constant stream of families coming in in the short time we were there with some very excited kids. It's a fantastic atmosphere.And the kind of books that are just magic and just aren't available everywhere. I think less than 10 percent of what I saw is available digitally. And these are beautifully made books for all ages, well worth having on your shelf.
The staff is amazing. Henry had a whole book read to him! Their knowledge and helpfulness was at the level you only get at really dedicated indy stores.
And if you're a teacher (like my wife) the resources are extensive. Even if you live a few hours out of town it's worth the trip for teachers. (Well, for anyone, really)
Some of the books I picked up. It's not only comics. There is a great selection of picture books as well. Like Golden books and Sasek's This Is books.

Thanks for the review. Gonna grab my kids (niece and nephew) and head down there soon...
ArrrOOoo!
It's awesome! You guys'll love it.
Could I reprint these images on Bleeding Cool?
Of course you can, Rich! I'd be honoured. If you need more to choose from let me know and I can email you more from that day.
