Why this children's book subscription for your 5 to 8-year old?
Our Parakeet subscription will help you make the transition from picture books to chapter books when your child is ready to take this exciting step in their reading journey.
Subscribers eagerly await the arrival of each new box which is addressed to them personally – reinforcing the idea that reading is exciting and enjoyable rather than a chore.
The accompanying activity pack really adds to the fun but also help children connect more deeply with what they’ve read and how it relates to their own lives. It also enables the whole family to feel involved in the book club experience.
"Your book coming through the post to my 7-year-old this month is like actual reading MAGIC!"
~Liz, happy subscriber
What's in each monthly book subscription box?
A chapter book
The books we choose for this age group are typically between 100 and 200 pages in length with plenty of illustrations.
Our Parakeets may be able to read these books by themselves, but we also believe that they are ideal for enjoying together.
Activity Pack
Each book comes with an exciting 4-page activity pack which we’ve created specifically to accompany it.
TWO CHILDREN OPTION
Buying for siblings?
Our 'Two children' option is only suitable when both children are in the same reading group.
Every parcel will be addressed to them both and they will receive two of everything except the book itself which can be shared.
If the siblings are in different reading groups they will each need a separate subscription so that they can receive books that are suitable for their reading and interest level.
For guidance, we say that our Parakeets are roughly 5 to 8, Cockatoos 8 to 12 and Macaws 12 to 14 years old.
