I just finished it. I’m smiling. This magical book has a magical premise with humor, depth and love. The well developed characters and their particular points of view flow smoothly and I was in the fictional dream the whole time. Frank has his own eclectic style where the unbelievable is real. I laugh and feel nostalgic. 🏆

The packaging was great and the timing was amazing as it came with my august macaw box. The book was on perfect condition aswell as the activity pack. Absolutely fantastic.

Great characters involved in an exciting adventure. Didn’t want to put it down. Will definitely appeal to a range of ages, either read solo or shared out loud. Looking forward to the next adventure.

Bought as a present for a picky reader and it’s got her attention

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!

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!

Our grand daughter was delighted to receive her badge!

Our nine year old granddaughter who is an avid reader is thrilled to have joined a book club! The opportunity to write a review each month will certainly add to her enjoyment.

Such a lovely way to introduce our grandchildren to authors they might not come across and to be able to help develop their love of reading and writing their own stories. They are always keen to share the latest book to arrive during our FaceTime sessions and so, we too, are introduced to new books! It’s a win win situation in our family.

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!

We loved your books. The subscription is a wonderful idea, the activities always thoughtful, many of them fun. Sadly, my girls have now outgrown the selection. I will miss you!

I bought this activity pack for my 5 year old grandson. It looks very good, but as he isn’t getting it until Christmas I don’t know what he thinks of it. I’m sure he will like it though.

I realy like the book but it is a bit hard to understand
what is happpening

So grateful to Parrot Street for opening my kids' eyes to new authors, genres and publishers. They've read such a good variety and it has definitely helped them with their English at school too. We've often gone on to buy other books by the same authors.

Recently I've been really grateful for the older age group, Macaw, which has helped us navigate the new world of YA fiction.

Cant recommend Parrot Street highly enough!

My granddaughter eagerly looks forward to receiving her book. She has found it rewarding giving her time to chill from the modern hi tech world

Dragon Storm: Tomas and Ironskin Past Pack

My 6yo son really enjoyed the Dragon Storm pack. He’s not yet started reading the novel, but he loved the bookmark and the accompanying activity sheets. He is a keen baker so was especially excited to follow the dragon cupcake recipe. I would thoroughly recommend this pack, for bookworms and reluctant readers alike.

The young recipient of your subscription was delighted with the three books and activity packs she received. Excellent range of tasks and interesting texts, not just well-known ones. Would definitely purchase again, and will recommend.

The popcorn recpie was very useful

My daughter absolutely loved this book! It was very different to the type of books that she normally reads. I thoroughly recommend Parrot Street for broadening childrens' reading tastes. The ideas in the packs are fantastic too.

Bought as a thank you gift, the recipient was delighted. It's a well pitched (excuse the pub!) book for this age and suited the sports mad reader who enjoyed learning more about the origins of the beautiful game and the female perspective.
It's a perfectly packaged mix with enjoyable activities to compliment the book.

I’m delighted to have found your small business we loved the book and my son found the activities interesting. Now his little sister wants some Parrot Street books too. :)

The product it a great idea but I was a little disappointed. Book looks great but was hoping that the accompanying pack would be a little like a panini book and magazine monthly I used to get as a child from which I read my way through lots of children’s classics I would never have come across or understood. It contained information that helped with comprehension - author fact file, historical context etc plus fun activities based on the book. For almost £6 more than the list price, the magazine was disappointing - I don’t think it adds much reading incentive.

I really love this book club l think l will give you ten points

Too advanced for her, she likes to read it in one go and this is too long with chapters, she let me read one page and then did not want any more. She tried to read it and became frustrated.
