What I thought of my Little box of book’s
Well I loved it, I found that everything from the packaging to the books was perfect. In my ‘little’ box I received two children’s books, a hand puppet sewing kit, a reading record, puzzles and activities to do with my children which were connected to the story books I had received, a thinking pad (essentially a pad of blank paper for the children to write down their thoughts, feelings and emotions) Emoji stickers and lots of information on the background of the company and what it is that they do and why.
As a parent I understand the importance of reading to children, and the little box of books also understands that importance and the fact that they donate books to those who need them is fantastic. So we got two books and they were “How to be a Lion” and “The Prince and the Witch and the thief and the Bears” my son really enjoyed the “How to be a Lion” book as he loves animals especially lions, wolves and dinosaur’s so this was a hit, and the moral of the story is beautiful. My daughter being a typical little girl adores fairy tales, princes and princesses and dragons was so excited to read “The prince and the witch and the thief and the bears” together we put together the hand puppet which has now become to be known as “Gertrude the Giraffe”
I would unquestionably recommend ‘Little Box of Books’ to anyone who has a child in their life. This would make a lovely gift as its totally one of a kind and is a different and more fun way to get more children reading.
