Book Marks: Mabel’s Fables
Photo by Erin Baiser/Torontoist.
Mabel’s Fables is a kid-lit lover’s dream. A neighbourhood cornerstone on Mount Pleasant Road since 1988, this cheerful book store stocks the classic The Cat in the Hat, the trendy Twilight, and almost everything in between.
The walls are brightly painted, the shelves are stuffed, and there’s a comfy reading room upstairs where you can cuddle with an oversize bear or take in a reading or two. The store also offers regular story time and language classes for children of all ages. Dozens of authors have read at Mabel’s, and their autographs adorn the walls. It’s a bit of a scavenger hunt to find your favourite authors, but if you long enough, you’re sure to find them.
