Here is what some of our members have to say…

Anne

A very happy parent

“I swithered for a while before starting this as I wondered if it was worth the cost. 100% glad I went ahead, I'm highly impressed - more importantly my little bookworm loves it."

Maria

Happy parent

"My boys are avid readers and love the idea of receiving new books through the post. It’s great that they can share the books and talk about what happens in them afterwards.”

Emma

Happy parent

“It comes with so many lovely goodies, bookmarks, colouring pencils, door sign, two lovely books, a poster and little file inserts to keep track of your reviews!”

Are the books really suitable for boys and girls?

YES! We pick books with gender friendly themes and diverse characters so that all children can relate to what they're reading and feel represented. Of course, we can't promise to please everyone all the time, but our book picks are selected from hundreds of new releases to ensure your kids only receive the BEST new books.

What if I already have the Books?

We only select new release books for our boxes, which means you're unlikely to already have them on your bookshelf. If you're nervous about receiving a book you've already got you can opt to reveal the books coming up next. Read more...
