Here is what some of our members have to say…

Anne

A very happy parent

“I swithered for a while before starting this as I wondered if it was worth the cost. 100% glad I went ahead, I'm highly impressed - more importantly my little bookworm loves it."

Maria

Happy parent

"My boys are avid readers and love the idea of receiving new books through the post. It’s great that they can share the books and talk about what happens in them afterwards.”

Emma

Happy parent

“It comes with so many lovely goodies, bookmarks, colouring pencils, door sign, two lovely books, a poster and little file inserts to keep track of your reviews!”
