A Year of Reading
12 Book Gift (Children's)
A Year of Reading - Children's edition
The perfect Christmas gift for book-loving kids
2026 is the National Year of Reading; so what better gift than a whole year of books? Unwrap the joy of reading this festive season with 12 individually wrapped children's books — a hand-selected collection of titles labelled by month.
Each parcel includes 12 individually wrapped paperback books, posted directly to you or your gift recipient. Every book is a surprise — ready to be unwrapped and enjoyed each month.
Inside, you’ll discover a mix of new, nearly new, and very good condition books, carefully chosen for quality and enjoyment, PLUS an extra gift from our selection of book merchandise.
(Please note: the 12 books will be sent in one shipment, if you'd prefer a monthly subscription please see our other listings.)
Choose your perfect match (please consider the child's reading age ability when selecting, rather than their actual age - you know them best!):
-
0-4 years – a mixture of picture book titles that you can read together and instill a joy of reading early in life.
-
5-9 years (girls) – a carefully chosen selection of books best suited to younger readers finding their independence. Mostly fiction titles, but potentially with 1-2 appropriate non-fiction books included. Could include early chapter books with images, age-appropriate picture books.
- 10-13 years (girls or boys) - Engaging stories featuring relatable characters and real-life themes such as friendship, relationships, conflict, and personal growth — perfect for confident young readers ready for more mature ideas. Could include 1-2 relevant non-fiction titles.
Whether it’s for your own little bookworm or as a thoughtful gift, the Year of Reading - 12 Book Gift brings the wonder of books to life — encouraging children to read, imagine, and discover something new with every unwrap.
