Cool Bookish Places: Kid Republic4
Last week, I found what I thought might be the coolest kids’ bookstore in the world. Come to find out, it might not even been the coolest kids’ bookstore in China.

(And while the bathroom doesn’t follow the arboreal theme, it still has to be one of the more amazing bathrooms for kids ever designed).
