Unconventional Bookstores

Flavorwire recently put out a list of "10 Unconventional Bookstores For Your Browsing Pleasure." Indeed.
     I especially like The Book Barge, which just parks along the canals in the UK (mostly in Staffordshire) and opens its doors. I wonder if they set loose while customers are inside? At 4 miles per hour, how long would you be able to read before you'd be lost?
     The other one that caught my eye is in called "Kid's Republic Picture Book Store" in China. Is it a playground? Is it a bookstore? Is it a place that makes it fun to read? You betcha. (I wish my house looked like this!)
Thanks to PW Daily for the heads up.

  1. We need places like that for our kids.

    I hope you are recovering well from your surgery. Shortly after my son broke his arm from climbing out of his crib, I re-wrote "Mary Had a Little Lamb" for him. As he is now running around full-speed ahead (me at about 1/2 to 3/4 speed), his story does have a happy ending.

    Thomas has a purple cast,
    A purple cast,
    A purple cast.
    Thomas has a purple cast
    And a broken wrist

    He climbed out of his crib one day
    Crib one day
    Crib one day.
    He climbed out of his crib one day
    And landed on the floor

    So now he has a big boy bed
    Big boy bed
    Big boy bed
    So now he has a big boy bed
    Of which he can slip out

    Even with his purple cast
    His purple cast
    His purple cast
    Even with his purple cast
    He still climbs out of bed.
