Kiddo

In an effort to escape the torrential rains on Lake Sunapee, I dragged the family to nearby downtown Hanover, hoping for some good distraction for my two-​year-​old.
I asked for the nearest toy store, and was directed to Kiddo.
Kiddo was the ideal place to spend the better part of an hour. There were stuffed animals galore, a marble obstacle course, a great train set table with plenty of Thomas character trains on hand, and an owner who let us stay, didn’t bother us, and helped countless groups find the perfect presents.
I left reluctantly when my son had a screaming tantrum because I wouldn’t let him ram the doll carriage into a patron’s leg, and wished with all my might that my own hometown had a store like this one.
