Downtown Book & Toy

I loved the experience of Downtown Book and Toy! They have a wide selection of books. I was really impressed with their business book selection and their updated selection of books. They had some older authors/titles but still relevant. Their kids side of store was really cute.
They have a store cat that is really friendly but anyone with allergies might want to be made aware they have a friendly cat.

This store was a nice surprise. Good selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Big selection of records as well as the books and toys.

This store is a treasure trove for kids! They have a wide selection of educational products that are both engaging and fun. The prices are reasonable, making it even better. I was pleasantly surprised to find a banned book section, promoting intellectual freedom. Highly recommend!

Very cute store. My grandkids had fun looking at toys and books. The staff were accommodating and didn't mind 2 toddlers exploring the kids' area. The toys are high quality with a great mix of fun and educational.

Great store, but I wish they sold CDs.

OUTSTANDING BOOK STORE!

If you live anywhere in mid-Missouri, treat yourself and pay a visit to the Downtown Book and Toy Store. This adorable yet shockingly well-stocked shop is worth a drive even when gas prices are over $5. Browse to your heart’s content or ask one of the knowledgeable staff to suggest a book or a toy and you will walk away with a treasure!

The perfect little book store. If they don't have what you are looking for, they can get it. Bought a cookbook today at 20% off & they let me pick another one off a rack I could have as a freebie. How cool is that!? They are super helpful with any questions and are VERY knowledgable about their stock. They have a lot of educational toys, books and games for the munchkins too.

I have had the esteemed pleasure of shopping at this wonderful bookstore for many years. Staff has always been helpful and courteous. All of them are very knowledgeable about many subjects.

Great local bookstore and toy emporium. Awesome selections and great prices. Staff always friendly and helpful! Love this store!

Great collection of books! Kids will love this place. I definitely could spend some time here but I'm a book nerd 🤓

Excellent service. Went in without knowing the names of 2 games and the ladies help me find the names, went and got the one I decided on and offer to wrap. Great to be able to get this last minute gift locally and with great service. Thanks so much

Hidden gem of a bookstore in JC! A wide selection of books, fun toys, and delightful puzzles awaits those who visit the mall. If you're stumped in selecting your next book, ask for Beth, the store manager. She will help you pick the right book!

Cute little bookstore! Good variety of books and gifts for the size of the store. Nice location.

Wonderful kids section and lots of great quality toys.

Fantastic place, the whole family loves going here. If they don't have something you want in stock, they will do their best to get it for you asap. Friendly staff!

Great shop with a very good selection!

Great little bookstore. Workers always helpful, and have a decent selection of toys for kids too.

Great little local book store. My kids love to see all the new books

Store is closing so got a lot of great deals on kids STEM kits at 40% off.

Great local bookstore! Even has a bargain book section which is great for kids books!
