Martha Merrell's Books & Toys — Attraction in Waukesha

My grandchildren and I love our regular visits to the bookstore. Eve and Norm are wonderful with the kids. Eve spends time with each of them individually to help them find books that they will enjoy and are challenging for them. She knows so much about children's books. We also love all the stuffed toys and educational items. They love to explore the store. There is always something new to see. I buy many baby gifts there as well. They put them in cute gift bags.
