Wonderbooks (Save the Children)

Closed.Save the Children stopped taking new subscriptions after six years because it was no longer sustainable; date not stated.

What's in the box: When it was running, each box contained children's books, as part of a subscription that covered 12 books in total.

Wonderbooks has closed and no longer takes new subscriptions. Save the Children ran it for six years, then decided it was no longer sustainable. The site does not say exactly when it stopped. The aim was to spark a lifelong love of reading in children while raising money for the charity's work. Families paid a monthly donation and received children's books in Wonderbooks boxes, with each subscription covering 12 books in total. The service also shared stories of children Save the Children has supported, so it mixed reading at home with a look at the charity's work. Save the Children says existing subscribers will still get all 12 books they signed up for. If you are still paying, you can cancel the monthly donation by logging in to the Stripe account that sends your billing emails. You can also contact Supporter Care on 020 7012 6400 or at supportercare@savethechildren.org.uk. The site does not say which age ranges or titles were included. If you liked Wonderbooks because it supported a charity, the closest option from Save the Children is a direct donation, which it says can support its literacy and education programmes. Families who want a book subscription now will need to look at other services.
