Our book boxes give your setting access to a wide range of age-appropriate books to support learning, reading for pleasure and themed activities.

How it works

Each box contains around 20 books and is made to order.

Boxes are loaned as part of your school’s topic or literacy box entitlement, or can be ordered separately.

You can mix and match topics or request themed collections for nursery and reception.

Boxes can include:

• books with repetition, rhythm, and rhyme
• picture books and board books
• non-fiction books on themes of your choice
• touch-and-feel and interactive books

How to order

If your nursery or foundation stage unit is part of a school, you can order boxes as part of the school’s topic and literacy box entitlement.

If you are a private nursery or other non-maintained setting, you can order:

• on a pay-as-you-use basis
• as part of a subscription package for better value
