What's in each monthly box?

A chapter book

Each month’s carefully chosen chapter book is, of course, the star of the show! It will typically be more than 200 pages with few or no illustrations.

Our Cockatoos will probably happily read these books by themselves- but we believe you will also enjoy reading them together.

An activity pack

Every book comes with a fun-filled activity pack designed specially to accompany it, along with stickers and a review card.

The pack includes book-club style questions, word puzzles, fun facts, jokes, craft projects, a recipe and more, all inspired by that month’s book.

At least one activity will be accessed online for this age group.

Brilliant Stories

The fact that the books are wrote by authors that aren't so well known is just pure genius as they are completely new. Very well presented upon delivery. Would highly recommend Parrot Street to everyone as they are doing a tremendous job. Keeping children engaged in reading bu using their subscription service is so important at any age. Well done Parrot Street!

Fantastic read

My daughter was so excited when her first book dropped through the letterbox.
She began looking through the book and reading it immediately.

I have a huge passion for books, and want to pass that to my daughter.
We read the book together each night, and the story itself has opened a world of imagination for her.
On a recent walk, she was so excited to find a pond and imagined it to be that of the one in the story and imagined what the characters would be doing.

We can’t wait for our second book to arrive!

Amazing

It is genuinely amazing to have found something both me and my boy adore! We received our first book this month and we have loved spending time before bed reading a chapter or 2, and going through the activity pack now we have finished the book. I cannot help but recommend both Parrot Street and our first book to everyone. Cannot wait for our next book in January!
