Q: Web Builder: The sentence reading "rest assured that the cost of the box always exceeds the value of its contents" may need to be rephrased so it doesn't read as if the cost is higher than the value.Asked by Taylor H., June 2023
Thank you for your message- I'm not sure where this is written but you are correct in that it should say you get more retail value than you pay for.
Q: Hi! We love this product! We are going to renew and want to get the box for two children. Does the box for two at the same address ship in two separate boxes addressed to each child?Asked by Karah I., July 2021
Hello! Our box for 2 children ships in one box and saves you about 10% over the cost of 2 boxes. Each child gets 2-3 books per box and if they are close in age or share any of the same interests, we will often try to find a book or two that can be shared, read aloud as a family, or passed down to maximize the value for you. Each child will still get there own mini-magazine and extra items (bookmarks, stickers, etc).
Q: Are the book yours to keep every month? Are there any extra charges included? Asked by Jodi N., April 2021
The books are yours to keep! No returns and no extra fees. Our expert booksellers at our independent bookstore will personalize your box based on the age and interests you provide for a perfect fit each month!
Q: If I get the box for 2, as I have an almost 6 year old and a 1 year old, would they still get that extra gift or just 3-4 books?Asked by Stephanie P., February 2021
Hi Stephanie! The box for 2 will contain 5-6 books total and extras for each child. Sometimes there is a book to share or for the older child to read to the younger child if applicable.
Note- our focus is on great books and our mini-magazine with a few activities.
And we often include bookmarks, stickers or other small items just to enhance your reading experience! This coming month for example, is a seed paper packet to plant in the ground. Last month included outerspace stickers and a space bookmark. :)
I bought this subscription for my grandson. ( I also chose another to see which was better) This one is by far the best. Some of the hard books have tactile , or auditory features. All have brilliant colors and are unique. There are so many new authors out there. It is great to have the expertise of others to guide you to the books worth reading.
I sent this to my niece for our brand new member of the family. She loved it!! Very high quality items wrapped up beautifully!! It even arrived before Christmas which was an unexpected surprise!! Thank you so much. I’m renewing!!
Just found out that a baby just received a small chapter book. Not too happy about that
Hi Flora, thank you for your review. I have just sent you an email because we do not send chapter books in our baby bug boxes...only board books. If you think there is a mistake, kindly reply to my email so we can sort it out for you right away. Thank you for your time!
Both my kids really enjoyed the books sent for them. My older one loved the greek mythology theme, enjoyed discovering a new character and series, and has devoured everything twice over. My younger son enjoyed the graphic novel the most and is coming around to the wordier books too. Thinking their uncle had sent the books to them, they said: "wow, he did a REALLY good job picking out these books for us!."
This is a FANTASTIC box and value. I am so, so impressed at how well these books have been selected for what my girls liked. Really fantastic box!
It was a great assortment of books.
This is an amazing sub box! Good quality books based on the interest of my child.
Wonderful Gift! We love it! Our grandson will be so happy.
Josie is THRILLED with her Reading boxes! She read the first box of books three times! This box arrived the day before her 6th Birthday! She yelled with Joy at four new “chapter” books! I am very happy with my purchase!
I wish I would give this subscription 10 stars. We received our first box for our 2yr old this month and all 3 books are fantastic! One was such a big hit with her we’ve read it every night, sometimes several times, since we got it. (I love it, too! We’re buying a copy for her daycare to have as well!) The package came undamaged and was fun to unbox and I love that there is a feedback page to send in to further curate your subscription. We LOVE this subscription! Thank you!
