Bookroo
Exclusive-edition board books and picture books for little readers
Bookroo's Baby & Preschool Book Club helps families build a home library one bright package at a time. Pick the age group and Bookroo sends a curated set each month: three sturdy board books for ages 0 to 3, two hardcover picture books for ages 3 to 6, or a sibling box for households with both. The team says it sifts through thousands of titles from major publishers to choose its favorites, aiming for hidden gems as well as reliable crowd-pleasers. The books are printed as custom Bookroo Collection Editions with matching spines and a uniform height, so they look good lined up on a shelf. Bookroo also says subscribers can save up to 47% compared with retail. Past boxes listed on Cratejoy include titles such as Nobody Hugs a Cactus by Carter Goodrich and Touch the Brightest Star by Christie Matheson, which gives a sense of the warm, read-aloud style of the picks. This is an easy choice for new parents, baby showers and grandparents who want to send something lasting. The first box ships within three days and later boxes go out on the 10th of each month. Prepaying for longer terms lowers the per-box price, and the current Cratejoy offer takes 50% off the first box on 3+ month plans.
