Carmichael’s Kids is an offshoot of Carmichael’s Bookstore, a local independent bookstore a block down from their Bardstown Road location. This is the second time I’ve been shopping here for presents for my niece, and the staff has always been very friendly and helpful. The bookstore is organized with books more or less according to age, along with a few sections of educational toys. I was particularly impressed with local versions of children’s books such as «Say Goodnight Louisville» and solidly built toys and educational activities. If you are looking for a gift for any child from age 0 through their tweens, I’d definitely see what Carmichael’s Kids has to offer. Plus you get to support a fantastic local business.

This bookstore would have been my favorite place when I was a kiddo! The cozy, welcoming storefront is a hop and a skip down Bardstown Rd from the mothership(Carmichaels) and its shelves are brimming with all sorts of magical things from the latest Olivia book to amazing kits of cut-out figures for classics like Pride & Prejudice and Alice in Wonderland. Carmichael’s Kids takes the intimate vibe of its grown-up store and reimagines it here for the infant to elementary school set. The ladies working in the store were a wealth of information on everything from the newest titles to award winners appropriate for certain age groups. They really know their stuff! I love independent bookstores and Carmichael’s is a Louisville treasure. This newest addition to the family is like our own Shop Around the Corner from ‘You’ve Got Mail.’ Please share the wonder of reading with the kids in your life and do it at this local store. They’ll love it(& so will you)!
