What’s in the Box

Each Little Fun Club box contains two or three age appropriate, curated books that will help you raise a reader.

Before making our selections each book goes through a review process where we consider the subject, author(s), awards, and price of a prospective book. Each book is read and discussed by Little Fun Club team before it is included in a subscription box for any age category. These can be favorite books that come from different experiences of our staff from childhood to education to simple different book lists from leading libraries and book clubs, or new titles just off the press recommended to us by our publishing partners, etc.

Once we know a title we go through our vendor network to source the exact book we have fallen in love with to secure large enough quantities for our subscriber base.

Each box is assigned individually by one of our associates. Each title assigned to your account is tailored to your child's needs. We are manually assigning books to each account so that we can take into account data points you provide during signs up as well as any feedback we receive from you regarding the previous boxes. We are not running an assembly line and our boxes are compiled with your child in mind.

Not only we take into consideration the age of the child, but also all the information you provide about the child so that the box is as perfect as it can be. If your child is interested in nature or trucks or trains or fairytales or classics, awesome! We are on a mission to get the best train book you can find, that's not only talking about trains but has educational value (Little engine that could by Watty Piper).

The final product is a box filled with education, fun and opportunities for positive child development. We work hard and take our time to make sure each box is just right before it is sent out.
