We update this list periodically. To that end, here are nine of the best children's book subscriptions available, from board books to young adult novels. But if your library or local bookstore isn't cutting it, a book subscription box could help your kids to keep the pages turning. Now, your first destination for "free" books should be your local library, where you can get them in physical and ebook form (check out Amazon Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited, Amazon FreeTime Unlimited and free library books via the Libby app for more of the latter). Each has new book selections with every shipment and there are clubs for every age group.

‘I have no idea what we are going to do then,' says Kathryn, 42, who lives in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, with her husband Simon, 41, an electrician, and Kaiden's brothers Jacob, 14, and Elias, two.

You can also send a one-time gift box instead of buying a subscription, which makes a great holiday or birthday present for the young readers on your list. Your YA reader will need to employ some self-discipline because the gifts will act as spoilers if opened before they reach the given page in the book. Also included is a 5x7-inch print of a quote from the book and discussion questions and read-along dates for live discussions online. This book club feels a bit over the top, which makes it a great gift for parents or -- better yet -- grandparents of young adults. For $65 a month, Once Upon a Book Club sends a new young-adult title geared toward 14-year-olds and up -- along with three to five individually wrapped gifts, each of which corresponds to a page number in the books.

For each subscription, you can choose to receive three or five books each quarter. Pricing for the three-book boxes is $36 for the Sunshine Box and $51 for either the Rainbow Box or Treehouse Box. OurShelves













Similar to Equal Opportunity Book Box, OurShelves features books with diverse and inclusive characters from under-represented identities. Discounts are available if you purchase an annual subscription, and you can save 10% if you buy a second subscription.  It offers three clubs for kids: Sunshine Box (0-2 years), Rainbow Box (2-5 years) and Treehouse Box (5-8 years). Instead of sending out books monthly, however, this club operates on a quarterly schedule.

The up-to-2-years-old box includes four board books, and the rest contain two hardcover books. Let's start with Amazon. You put in your preferences and Amazon will send you a preview of its selections, which you can revise before the box ships. If you're a Prime member, you can subscribe to Prime Book Box, which delivers curated hardcover books for kids up to age 12. There are boxes for ages 0-2 years, ages 3-5, ages 6-8 and ages 9-12. Or you can skip the edit step and be surprised when the box arrives. It costs $20 per box, and you can sign up to receive a box every one, two or three months.

Or if you sign up for two separate subscriptions, you can get a 15% discount on the second subscription. You can't preview the books before Bookroo sends them out, but it aims to find hidden gems you haven't heard of before. You can sign up to receive an alternating subscription of board books and picture books if you have toddlers of differing ages. And the books Bookroo sends come individually wrapped -- because what kid doesn't love tearing open a gift? And should you receive a book you already own, you can get a $5 credit if you send Bookroo a picture of you giving the duplicate to a friend. You'll get three board books for the youngest group, two picture books for the middle group and two chapter books for the oldest group. Bookroo




$20-$25 a month or $263-$323 a year, plus $5 shipping a month
