Why this 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 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.

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!

General offering

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!

Such good books and engaging content

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!
