Why this book subscription for your 8 to 12-year old?

Our Cockatoo subscription will introduce you to books and authors that you and your child may never have discovered for yourselves.

You’ll receive different styles and genres of book, discovering new favourites in the process.

Subscribers get excited by the arrival of a brand-new book each month, motivating them to keep reading regularly.

Book club-style questions and activities inspired by the book encourage discussion and help children think more deeply about what they’ve read.

What's in each monthly book subscription box?

Example of a middle grade chapter book and activity pack provided to Parrot Street Book Club Cockatoo subscribers

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.

Extra benefits

Subscribers also have access to an exclusive monthly competition to win a fabulous prize from our publisher partners.

For every box we ship to a subscriber we also make a donation of 50p to UK literacy charity Coram Beanstalk. We are proud to support the amazing work they do placing reading helpers in schools across the UK.

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.

Amazing (yet less diverse) choice of books

I really appreciated the wide variety of books offered each month, covering broad and engaging themes. However, the selection was predominantly geared toward girls or non-binary children, with very few—if any—titles featuring male protagonists. This lack of representation was the primary reason for cancelling the subscription.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. As you mention, we work hard to offer subscribers a broad variety of books with different styles, themes and protagonists.

We must admit to being a little confused however by your comment about the lack of male leads. Just last month Cockatoo subscribers received Man-Man and the Tree of Memories with a male lead, and over the course of your subscription other notable male-led stories include My Dog, Wrong Tracks, A Riddle for a King and Sword of the Sun.

My niece absolutely loves her parrot club box. Every month I get a call from her saying thank you and how excited she is too make the new recipe.
Would highly recommend Parrot Street to everyone!!

This is the second subscription I have ordered for my grandson, he absolutely loves them!

I have a subscription my book was wrong but was sorted fast

My January macaw subscription my book was wrong but I sent an email straight away and it was sorted and they sent me the book I chose

Ps:the subscription is amazing love all the books they choose

Very good
