Bookroo: A curated book subscription service for children

Bookroo is a monthly subscription for kids ages 0-10 that helps them fall in love with reading by combining the excitement of opening a gift with the discovery of a new, wrapped, treasured book! Their mission is to enable and empower parents to build their children’s book collections in an affordable and exciting way through curated monthly book deliveries. They believe in the power and impact of the written word in the life of a child, and believe it’s never too early to start reading to children.

  • Bookroo‘s books are reviewed by a panel of families attending Stanford University.
  • The company is women founded and run, by three sister-in-law.
  • They offer board, picture, and chapter books.
  • Boxes with picture books come with 2 hardcover books. Boxes with board books come with 3 books. Boxes with chapter books come with 2 chapter books.
  • If you are sent a book you already have, Bookroo allows you to send them a picture of you giving the book to someone else and they’ll give you $5 off your next subscription.
  • Order month-to-month, 3 box, 6 box or 12 box.

How does Bookroo decide which books to send?

For the board and picture book boxes, the goal is to send hidden gems rather than classics. The books are extensively reviewed by a panel of 12 families attending Stanford University and their combined 22 kids. They rate each book on a 7 point scale and on its re-readability. Books that emerge as clear winners are sent out in our Bookroo boxes. For more details on the review process, check out Bookroo Review Process. To see past boxes visit the What’s in a Box page.

For the chapter book box, they send one hidden gem and one admired favorite per box. Books are chosen by in-house early reader expert in consultation with librarians, parents, and kids alike to help your child build their library, discover new books, and fall in love with reading. Plus, each box includes information and talking points to help you know what your child will be reading. You can relax, knowing we’ve carefully selected kid-friendly books! To see past boxes visit the What’s in a Box page.
