The Best Bookshelves For Kids

Best For Movies

Tot Tutors Kids Book Rack

Easy Access For Young Movie Fans

This non-traditional bookshelf is perfect for the young movie fan in your life since they can easily see the covers of their favorite movies with this book rack.

Traditional bookshelves may be a more efficient use of space, but the Tot Tutor book rack makes it possible for kids to see the covers of books—or movies—more easily. Thanks to four large transparent pockets existing as mock-shelves, this bookshelf is a great choice for young kids that need assistance finding books or for budding cinephiles. Or both! The unit is only two feet tall and should sit at your child's eye level, ensuring they can reach items without assistance.

The see-through nylon pockets are easy to wipe down and clean in case sticky hands leave residue on the nylon. Because of the easy cleanup and visible storage, the CinemaBlend team can't recommend this book rack enough.

Key Features

  • Four deep nylon pockets for book storage
  • Sturdy wood sides
  • Transparent sleeves allow for total visibility of books or movies inside pockets

FURINNO JAYA Simple Home 3-Tier Adjustable Shelf Bookcase

Adjustable For Changing Needs

The three-tier design, white finish, and simplistic design are just three reasons why we love this bookshelf for for anyone and everyone in your family.

The FURINNO adjustable three-shelf unit will fit nicely in any room, and it offers plenty of space for books, toys, or films.

With seven color options, one is sure to match your kids' room or playroom theme and the composite wood unit can last many years if assembled and maintained properly. The unit is easy to assemble in very little time and the shelves adjust as needs change over time.

That means that this three-tier shelf system will grow with your kids. If they go through a teddy bear phase, there's plenty of space to lay out an adorable collection of plushies. If they later want to collect stacks and stacks of movies (let's hope this is the case), the three tiers can adapt to hold as many films as they need.

We love how customizable this bookshelf is!

  • Made with composite wood

Clayton is a self-proclaimed geography nerd that enjoys learning about new places and cultures. In his spare time, he studies maps as well as the history and culture of new locations, resulting in an ever-lengthening bucket list.

He was afforded opportunities to explore both Mexico City and Athens in a more organic sense through a former career with a college student ministry, and enjoyed London as well, but as more of a tourist. One of his favorite travel memories was serving a Christmas meal to refugees in Athens and hearing their stories of hope; Athens is truly a crossroads of cultures between Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and shouldn't be missed!
