Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.

Dad Suggests was created to share with others the many different things that we have loved sharing with our own children.
Our hope is that - by reading or visiting our children’s bookstore - you will find something special to enjoy with your own family.

Ryan - Lead Father of Dad Suggests
Dad Suggests was created so that we could share with others all of the things that we most love sharing with our own children.
One of the great joys of being a father of two has been discovering bits and pieces of the vast amount of creative content in the world designed to entertain children and bring them joy.
Another fantastically-selfish joy of fatherhood has been rediscovering things from my own childhood and sharing those with my children as well.
Our mission is to help you find content that will inspire your kids and spark their imagination and their creativity. Providing a childhood full of magic and wonder is the noblest mission there is. And there’s no better way to accomplish this than reading and playing with your kids.
In 2018 we started DadSuggests.com to talk about our favorite kids books and games. In 2022 we opened our first small bookshop in Fayetteville, AR. And in the spring of 2025 we opened our current location on E. Mission Blvd.
We sincerely hope that, while visiting, you might discover or rediscover something to share and enjoy with your own family.
