A couple of months ago I decided to order K’s first book box subscription. He loves reading and looking at his books. I know how excited I get about bookmail, so I thought I’d pass that joy down to him. Do you know how many book subscription boxes there are out there? I didn’t realize just how many there were until I started looking, but I wasn’t sure what I was really looking for either.

I started off by doing a general search on best book subscription boxes for kids. Again, there were so many choices! I narrowed down to a handful and compared what they had to offer and prices. I ultimately ended up going with The Reading Bug Book Box, because each box includes books, “extras,” and handwritten monthly notes. Each box is curated specifically for your child based on multiple factors: age, reading level, and things that they like, etc. You fill out a profile about your child to give them an idea. The “extras” that are included are meant to go along with the books that are in the box.

I chose the Reading Bug Box because I love the idea of interactive reading and activities. It will allow K to become part of the story and make reading more fun and hopefully more enjoyable and fuel his passion. I also liked that it is curated to him specifically, and there will be little notes to him.

K’s First Book Box Subscription: What We Thought

K has received two boxes so far. When he received the boxes, he was ecstatic. He got the biggest smile on his face and clapped because he knew it was for him. He pulled all of his books out at once and we read each one right then. The folks at The Reading Bug did a great job picking books for him. He loves monkeys, and the interactive books are always a hit with him. We’re so pleased with K’s first book box subscription!

We also had a small snaffu with shipping (nothing that was their fault) and Lauren, one of the co-founders, helped me out and was so kind to speak with. I love that they were attentive with helping me. Plus they’re a family owned independent bookstore, so I feel even better about supporting them! If you’re looking for a book box for the child in your life, I recommend checking out The Reading Bug. K and I both gave it a thumbs up.

If you’re interested in purchasing a subscription from them, or checking out their bookstore, head on over to their site: The Reading Bug Box.
