My daughter (11) is an avid reader and I wanted to bring that same devotion to my son, who is five. From the moment he sees the parcel addressed to him he is excited, we talk about the books and what is going to happen and he loves passing them on to his friends after we have finished reading them. I am sure this love of books has helped him become such a brilliant reader in his own right, as well as enhancing his imagination and bringing us both such joy.

I chose Parrot Street as a birthday gift for my daughters 9th birthday and I can safely say I haven’t been disappointed!

My daughter struggled to find books she was interested in as she reads slightly above age at school - the cockatoo subscription is absolutely fantastic and has helped sparked her love for reading again!

Highly recommend for any little avid reader - and parents who dream of a quiet half hour!

Lovely and engaging books that keep my kids interested in reading

Parakeet children's book subscription

I like that it gives you book ideas that you might not see in the shops. I have enjoyed all the books that I have received so far.

I have subscribed over several years for two grandsons (in separate families) and both have enjoyed their monthly books, but each has moved on to preferring to choose his own books now. This has been an excellent present for them and so much better than buying toys. I wouldn’t hesitate to take out another subscription if there was anyone I needed to get one for!

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

I bought this for my son as a way of spreading out his Xmas gifts a bit. After the excitement of Christmas had passed it was great to know there would still be a treat coming in the post.

It was lovely to receive the first book and activities, we are really enjoying the story and already excited about next month.

Both my grandsons were excited about the first packs they received this month.
I even had a delicious jam tart that they had made from the recipe.

an excellent present for a child who didn't want to read books without pictures - when he realised how good the books were, and that there was something to do each time as well, he really enjoyed them, and it has moved his reading experience on

We interviewd Parrot Street about a year ago, and it was fabulous! Such lovely people! We also love getting the books every month not knowing what it will be. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and thoroughly recommend it. ;]

During the first Covid lockdown I found this wonderful book club. It was a blessing then and remains so now. My son is thrilled to receive each book and it’s opened us up to so many new authors. It’s a brilliant way to expand your children’s reading and I’m so glad I found it.

This subscription has introduced my son to a range of books that I simply wouldn’t have discovered myself. It has taken the pressure off trying to find new books that I think will engage him, and it has introduced him to a variety of writing styles.
We love the related recipes and craft activities too. In fact, one of the recipes makes quite a regular appearance in our house now!

My grand daughter loves receiving her monthly book , especially as they introduce her to lots of different authors and ideas. A fabulous idea.

Absolutely loving the Parrot Street Book Club! My son (7) is quite a reluctant reader but the combination of his own post and the fun activities inside have really got him interested. The books are really well chosen and, as a primary school teacher myself, I really feel the activities are perfectly pitched and really engaging. Would highly recommend Parrot Street!

My daughter (7) and I love Parrot street. The books are excellent and the activities really bring the stories to life. My daughter loves to get her package in the post. As a home educator, this subscription is really valued as it enriches my daughters learning in a fun and enjoyable way.
