We love all of our customers, and we appreciate your trust in us! Order just one box as a special gift, or subscribe and give your child or grandchild special time with you each month.

Even kids who find reading difficult or boring, enjoy crafting their own stuffed animals, and once they've created a reading buddy, that new book is so much more interesting! The book is about their new friend, and many parents report that their kids want to read their new books over and over and even start to read the books to their new stuffy themselves!

Whether you want to boost your child's interest in reading, or reward them for all the hard work they put into learning to read, Book & Bear Boxes make reading so much more fun!

Parents of children with Special Needs, ASD, and ADHD have reported an increase in their children's enjoyment of reading through the hands-on activity of crafting their own animals, and their increased attention on something they find so interesting.

Homeschooling families use our animal boxes as reading enrichment and as the basis for animal unit studies each month. Our boxes are approved by a long and growing list of Charter Schools for Reading Enrichment Scholarship Funds. Not at your charter school yet? Talk to your charter school representative to get Book and Bear listed as a vendor at your school, and we'll thank you with a special gift with your first order. 🎁

Please note that our animals are not approved for children under 3 years old (small parts). For babies and toddlers, consider our Baby Box to safely start your little one's love of reading and build their library of board books.

The cut off date for subscriptions is the last day of the month. We only order enough animals for current subscribers plus a few extras. If we have sold out of the current featured animal, we will send you our most recent available animal instead. Feel free to select your first animal from our extensive supply of animals, or enjoy the surprise of a mystery first box!

Our plush animals are easy to stuff, and even young children can mostly build them on their own. Instructions are provided on the back of the package of fluff, and by video on our Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/hg7qLvWBwKg

Animals close with a zip tie or zipper inside the animal’s back. Cut the tie to secure the fluff, tear off the protective fabric strip over most animals’ Velcro opening, and squeeze the Velcro shut. No sewing required!

Please note that most animals will arrive with their heads pre-stuffed. You will mostly stuff limbs and bodies. If your animal’s head seems a little askew, just move the fluff around in its head, and add a little more fluff to make it just the way you’d like.

We ship from California, and choose the best price we can find to keep costs down for our large boxes. If you are on the West Coast, you will more likely receive your box via USPS, and on the East Coast, UPS. USPS Priority mail takes 2-3 days for most packages, and UPS takes 4-5 days for most packages.

All boxes receive tracking numbers by email. Didn't get the email? Login to your account and make sure your email address is spelled correctly.
