Amazon just announced Prime Book Box, a subscription that delivers hand-picked children’s books every 1, 2, or 3 months. It is currently only open to Prime Members and you’ll need to request an invitation.

What’s in a Prime Book Box?
Each box contains 2 hardcover books or 4 board books depending on your child’s age. The books are curated by editors to find highly-rated books, new releases, classics, and hidden gems tailored to your reader’s age.
How does Prime Book Box work?
How much does Prime Book Box cost?
Prime Book Box will save you up to 35% off list price. The current pricing structure is $22.99 shipped. This works out to around $11.50 per hardcover book or $5.75 per board book. If you choose books that are less expensive if you were to buy them yourself, Amazon will charge the lower price.
What do you think? Is this something you would try? If I was still working as a librarian, I definitely would do it for my school since those are great prices for hardcover books…not sure now that my youngest girls are 10 & 11. We utilize the library a ton!


Very nice initiative from Amazon. I will try this sometime. 🙂
