For those with children in Beijing, the Xinhua Shudian on Wangfujing has an excellent selection of children's books in Chinese and English on the second floor. The children's section even provides a number of child-sized chairs for young browsers. The selection of classroom posters has the best and most colorful pinyin chart I've ever seen (look for the one with the raised pictures) in case you or the ayi is introducing your child to pinyin basics.
