About Book and Bear
We believe Play + Reading + Family Time = Happy Little Learners
There is a simple daily thing you can do that will have a huge impact for your kids: Read to them!
Our family enjoyed Story time just before bedtime. There's nothing quite like holding your child on your lap just after a bath and reading a book together!
By taking 15 minutes a day to read to your child, you can help them discover a lifetime love of reading, and learning. But even more than that, the time you spend together will fill their hearts with precious family moments and help to keep you close.
To learn more about how Reading with your Child helps your relationship, take a look at Mandy's Family experience on her blog:
A little about Book and Bear's mission…
Raising kids is a tough job. So much to do and manage! Book and Bear's mission is to help give parents and their kids activities they can enjoy together as they slow down and enjoy the calming joys of reading.

How It All Started . . .
Book and Bear was originally a Birthday Tea Party Service called Teacups and Teddy Bears. From 2001, we traveled around Tampa Bay, Florida bringing Princess and Create-a-Bear Parties to hundreds of children. It was sooo much fun!
Kymberly MacAgy is a former teacher and Homeschool Mom who helps Moms with young children nurture family time while fostering a lifetime love for reading and learning. Before starting Book and Bear, Kymberly was Activities Coordinator for her local Girl Scout Council, Business Owner, Teacher, Homeschool Mom and Curriculum Developer for Christian Education.
In the beginning . . . Princess Dresses, Teddy Bear Picnics, lugging equipment and reading to kids as a Birthday Party Service. Back then my teen daughters worked with me and my youngest (just 5 years old) consulted on colors and the best party activities.We haven't really changed all that much! We still love books, teddy bears and bringing joy to kids! Even my youngest is all grown up, and now she's Head of Development. We've expanded our reach to spread the fun throughout the United States. We are currently working on plans to give subscribers and other kind humans opportunities to give Book and Bear boxes to hospitalized children.
Where we are today . . .
We haven't really changed all that much! We still love books, teddy bears and bringing joy to kids! Even my youngest is all grown up, and now she's Chief of Operations. We've expanded our reach to spread the fun throughout the United States, and expect to expand to Canada and the rest of the world over the next year.
Let customers speak for us
Love the book selection, and the reindeer that came with it!
She loves it! Beginning with getting mail, then stuffing the animal with mo to the finished product. Cuddling the stuffy and reading the book. Lots of fun.
My daughter LOVES everything about her monthly box! The craft and activities, the books and most importantly the furry friend!! Not to mention the customer service is always top notch
Lois loved her box and water for her next one
Absolutely love this adorable kitten Book & Bear set! Everything included is so cute and my daughter can’t get enough of it.
My kids LOVE reading. The fact that the stuffy came to match the theme of the book was amazing. They loved stuffing their animal themselves and then cuddling it as we read together. My kids continue to go back to the book and play with the animal daily. This would also be a great motivator for kids that don’t enjoy reading- it would help them to become more invested.
Granddaughter is in love with these boxs
We just received our first box and my son and I were equally excited. We started a new subscription and received a 2nd animal free as well! What a nice surprise! My son enjoyed “making” his own stuffed animal. The size and quality is good. He also received not one, but two chapter books that he thinks he will enjoy. He loves reading and stuffed animals so this is THE perfect box for him. So happy to have found Book and a Bear!
Lov d the structure of panda bear stuffed real fluffy story was enjoyed by 6 year niece
Both of my boys were so excited to receive this box. I can absolutely recommend. We enjoyed reading our new story with a new little best friend that all came right from our box!
My little one absolutely loved her Book and Bear box! There was such a fun DIY component to making the stuffed animal, and the chosen book for the box was super engaging. She loved hugging her new sloth friend while reading about a pet sloth over and over again! Thanks Book and Bear!
Our first Book and Bear Box was so much fun! My three year olds excitement when opening it was priceless! An amazing product that will definitely get your kids excited about reading!
