Let customers speak for us
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!
This was a great gift for my great niece

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.
