Bookroo Subscription Box Review + Coupon – October 2017

Bookroo is a subscription service that sends 2 books for children every month. They have a picture book plan (for ages 2.5 and up) and a board book plan (for ages 0-2.5). 

Bookroo sends the books individually wrapped each month. It’s a special touch and my children enjoy unwrapping the books each month like a special gift.

My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Bookroo includes an information card in their boxes with a summary of each book.

Lily Wool by Paula Vasquez – Retail Value $14.99 (found on sale here for $12.65)

What can I say other than every book can’t be amazing. Lily Wool fell flat for us. It felt disjointed and while the premise was cute about a sheep that is different from the herd, the story wasn’t exciting, funny or special.

Edward Built a Rocketship by Michael Rack – Retail Price $16.99 (Out of Print)

Edward decides he wants to travel to space so he builds a rocket ship and starts his adventure. This book was fantastical and had a great rhyming beat. Our favorite part was the message to Edward’s mom that Mercury says hi.

Verdict: The value of Bookroo this month was about $32 (using retail prices) which is higher than the $22.99 cost of the box ($17.99 a month + $5 US shipping). We didn’t love Lily Wool, but we did enjoy the story about Edward. While this month wasn’t our favorite I still recommend this book subscription for book loving children in your life.

What do you think of this month’s Bookroo?
