A Children’s Bookshop at the Outlets

The Storybook Shoppe sells books and toys for children, in suite A190 at Tanger 2 on Fording Island Road. Its owner picks the books herself, favoring Newbery and Caldecott Medal winners and titles that experts recommend, so the shelves lean toward well-loved stories over licensed tie-ins.

It is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, which makes it a good break during an outlet trip with children. Reviewers rate it 4.8 from 40 Google reviews.

Ordering by Phone or Email

If you are not sure what to buy, call (843) 929-1002 or email the shop with a child’s age, grade and interests and it will suggest books. It ships books nationwide for a flat fee and takes payment online, so it also works as a gift for a grandchild back home. The shop posts events on its Instagram and Facebook pages.

The other bookshop in town, The Bluffton Bookshop, is in Old Town and stocks books for all ages.
