This is one of the largest independent bookstores in the country. Every single square inch, and every centimeter for that matter — if you prefer metric — is packed with tomes. The shop specializes in used and rare books, which might interest you, but their children's section is the finest in California, full of books you haven't seen since you were a child, and all at reasonable prices. Whether you and your grandchildren are looking for a  Harry Potter book, Hansel and Gretel, or Horton Hears a Who, you'll find it and a lot more at Green Apple.
