We had the kiddos for the weekend..  What fun we had with them.  From going to Toodeloos, Premier Imprints, The Enchanted Village, ice skating at the Enchanted Village, watching Finding Dory and just hanging out.  Lots of laughter and love.

Dogtown Books participates annually in the Boston Book print and Ephemera show. Bob was unpacking boxes from the fair the day I stopped by.
Unique and special children’s picture books and young adult chapter books. Plenty of Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl the day I was there.
