school stories

I read it before giving it to a 9 yr old friend as is my custom with books I don’t know , I thought itwas good and she tells me she is reading and enjoying it

How to be a genius kid

Our 8 year-old grandson read 'How to be a genius kid' in two days and said it was the best book he'd ever read. He has started asking lots of good questions and it has fuelled his interest in all-things scientific.

Very efficient service

The book was for a present and hasn’t been handed over yet.
I was impressed by the ‘feel’ of Parrot Street which was why I chose to buy the book from them. I wasn’t disappointed as their service was excellent.

I got it but didn't order it

Due to problems when renewing subscription I was sent this pin great quality and customer service

Game changer

My 6 year old finds the school reading books boring so I decided to order this as a one-off. It's been brilliant - he gets it out and wants to read. He's even taken it into school to show his teacher. He's a good reader so I'm pleased he's finding it interesting. We haven't done the activities yet, but they look good!

Izzy the inventor

Excellent book, I read a chapter a night to my 5year old daughter, she loved the map and uses her imagination while listening to me reading, by chapter 5 she was reading some sentences with me!
Brilliant book lots to keep interest.

This is the second subscription I have ordered for my grandson, he absolutely loves them!

Highly recommend

Such a wonderful gift idea. Giving the gift of reading is super and this option allows you to do it at the lastminute, if you happen to be put of ideas.

Just perfect for young book lovers.

I just love these fun totes for my grandchildren to carry around their treasured books. They’re colourful, well-made and original. My only criticism is that a blue version was unavailable - and blue’s a popular colour.

Great book and pack

I brought a one off book and pack to see if daughter would like it. After receiving it my daughter and I love it. Book was great for her reading ability and age and the activities kept us busy for hours. I would recommend

The Cloud Thief by James Nicol

I bought this book for my 13 year old daughter. I've started to read it too. The story starts quickly, (in the 1st 2 chapters.) the story keeps you interested by the changeable pace and there are no scary/shocker characters. The two main characters show friendship, caring and respect. I've not finished the book yet but I'm intrigued how the story will end!
Well Done to James Nicol for another very good young teenager book.

The Prisoner of Bhopal
Edward De La Rue
An amazing book about WW1

It is an amazing story about the hardships of life in India after WW1. You can really connect to Sanjiv’s story and it makes your heart sore when Amil learns how to read the wind. It is a lovely book and it shows the cruelty in which some factory owners treated their employees back then. I love this book and will definitely recommend it to my friends. It is a top tier read and a must read book for 9 to 11 year olds!

The Blue Book of Nebo
Edward De La Rue
A great,indulging story.

It was an amazing book and I really like the concept of The End. You can really connect to Rowena’s tales about love and life before The End and it adds that extra little something to the plot. Overall it is an amazing read and I will definitely recommend this book to my friends. This is a must read book for 10 to 11 year olds!👍

Fantastic gift set

Great service!

Firstly, I was very happy with the choice and variety of books on offer.
After ordering 2 books, I received the package but one of the books was lost during the delivery (the package had been opened and reattached with elastic bands). I contacted Parrot street book club and they were great, re-ordering the book straight away and sending it to me promptly. Great customer service and very friendly people!
