Q: Is there a reading bug box less than $46 a month ?Asked by Steve S., September 2019
Yes! There's a wide variety of options for all ages, and Cratejoy Marketplace isn't the best at showcasing them. You can look at readingbugbox[dot]com for more.
Q: What do you do if you receive a book you already have at home?Asked by Pamela G., September 2019
I ordered a three month subscription for my daughter's birthday in the beginning of June. After reading that they shipped boxes normally around the 15th of the month, I emailed to see if earlier shipping was possible. Lauren emailed me back the same day and got the box mailed the next day. My daughter really enjoyed the books chosen for her. The personal touch and excellent customer service of Reading Bug are one-of-a-kind!
Initially I really like these box. I tried it out for about 6 months. My 3yo daughter loved receiving this box. Here is my experience: I only ever received 3 books along with some other small gift (stickers, buttons, paper hat). Out of the 3 books, one of the books was usually unreadable (story line went no where, way to complex or to simple like a baby book). I never knew children's books could be so bad till I started this box subscription. I feel like for $33 I am paying over $10 per book which is way more than it would cost to purchase them directly. I am trying out another box subscription for $19 that includes 3 books.
Hi Samantha, I'm so glad your daughter loved receiving her Reading Bug Boxes, but sorry, of course, that you didn't enjoy some of the books. One of the key benefits of our service is that the books are hand-picked from our store shelves just for you, not general selections for everyone. Our team thought you'd enjoy the books we included, but if there's ever an issue, I encourage you to let us know so we can make sure we continue to grow along with you and your child! Additionally, the value of the books we include always exceeds the price of the box. Thank you and I hope we'll see you back again in the future!
The mom of the baby I gift these books every month said it was the best gift they received for their shower. Nice selection of books, and it's getting the baby familiar with books and reading. I've been sending them to him for a year; he's only 15 months now but he does look at them. He's not able to sit still for much reading yet, but he will be :)
Our personalized box was usually spot on!! The added surprises in each boxes were fun,too! The only reason we stopped the subscription was because we couldn't keep up with reading all our new books!
Great reading box for my 4 year old. She loves every book that she has received. Everything we listed that she was interested in they sent! Best reading box!!
We just received our first box. My son was so excited for his first reading box! In the ordering survey, I mentioned that my son loves LEGOs, and sure enough, they included a cartoon LEGO book. He immediately went for that book! The other 2 books are ones I never would’ve gotten (particularly the chapter book), but only minutes later, my son is sitting in his comfy chair reading through his first chapter book. So these guys clearly know what they’re doing! He wants to read the other book before bedtime and even loves his bookmark and stickers. Great job!! Can’t wait for the next box.
Our box received by Cratejoy for our 8 year old son exceeded our expectations in regards to the books that he received.
My daughter receive her first box today and she LOVED everything in the box. The books are great quality and are new! She loved this more then the jojo box! :)
I couldn't be more thrilled with this subscription box. Every book has been a winner in our house and is enjoyed by my daughter AND the parents who get to read them along with her. We both look forward to it every month and can't wait for the next delivery. They always include sweet personal notes and little fun something extra (colored pencils, little notebooks, stickers, and more) that make it extra special. This month we got a beautiful version of the Secret Garden, an adorable dinosaur book, and a finger trails bug book great for her age as she is learning to write. They are always fun and original choices. I really can't say enough good things about this subscription box.
Fun and magical box. Keep up all the great work!
