About Reading Bug Box for Babies & Toddlers

Reading Bug Box for Babies and Toddlers sends three board books every month, chosen for children from birth to about 30 months. The picks come from the booksellers at the Reading Bug, an award-winning, family-owned independent children's bookstore in California, and they are the same titles the staff recommend to customers and read at their own story times. The books are new, high quality and undamaged, straight from the store's shelves. They are chosen to introduce new concepts, rhymes and stories that are fun to read aloud and support early development. Board books stand up to chewing, grabbing and repeated readings, which makes them a practical format for this age. The box has been featured in New York Magazine and in NYT Wirecutter guides. Boxes ship from the United States between the 15th and 20th of each month. In November and December, first boxes ship within 5 business days to meet holiday deadlines. The brand notes that ordering directly from its own website gives you a priority mail upgrade option, which is not offered through Cratejoy. The listing does not state the shipping cost. You can pay monthly or prepay 3, 6 or 12 months. It makes an excellent baby shower gift, and the brand offers other Reading Bug Box listings for children up to age 13.
