Children's Books
If you're trying to draw your kids away from the boob tube or the Playstation, check out these sites for books.  Not only do most of them have a great selection, they also have recommendations on other books that might suit their ever changing interests.  
1. Bookvine - What earned this site the #1 spot wasn't the prices--even though they were competitive with the Giants (Amazon, BN)--it was the fact that if you buy over $50 in books you can earn 10% cash back or 20% in "book bucks" towards future book purchases every time you shop at their site (balance must be paid off within 30 days).  Additionally, shipping is $7 for orders between $50-$99 and 6% of the total for orders over $100.  
2. Barnes and Noble - Not only do they have grown up books but a great selection of low priced children's books.  Furthermore, with their immense inventory they will probably have what you're looking for in stock.  Delivery can be referenced on our other review found in the Bookstores section. 
3. Amazon - This online retailer has almost every niche of the book market and they intend to stay!  A wide selection of children's books with reviews so you can make an informed decision before you buy.  Also, you can view a list of what other customers purchased along with your particular title to help with additional purchases in the same genre.  Delivery is a low $3 + $0.99 for each book in the order.

Other Notable Stores 

Cherry Valley -  Not only are their books for kids, but young adults, and other books on parenting.  The site isn't as flashy as others, but the content is great and delivery is free if you order more than 6 books and just $3.95 for orders with 5 or fewer books. 
Alephbet - If you're trying to rekindle those lost childhood memories with that one book your parents read to you at bed time--try here.  They have a pretty good inventory and delivery isn't bad either at $5 for the first book and a buck for every additional book.
