Absolutely fantastic. The book bag is already well used on our library trips.

I am just sending this email to say Thank You very much for the Booktime bag and books my son brought home in his book bag from school the other day. We have read to him since he was a baby and this is something we have all had great pleasure in. Having studied illustration at University as a parent I also get great enjoyment from the way a book has been illustrated and seeing how my son sees it all. We love the Booky character and my son really chuckles when he sees him and has already said Hello to him, so Booky is going to have pride of place on my son’s bookcase. I am fortunate enough to have been able to purchase quite a little library of books for my son but it is always a real gift to be given lovely books in this way and I just wanted to let you all know how much it is appreciated. We loved the Ladybird book and I thought what a lovely idea it was to answer lots of children’s questions. The Eric Carle Sloth book was a real hit and a great bedtime read, as a parent it was a real joy to speak the text and say it as slowly as I liked. My son loved all the different animals at the end and asking what they were, he also really chuckled at the end when the sloth explains all the things his character is and the long words he used. So thank you very much and keep up the great work! PS. Hope Booky has had his cover dusted and is thinking up his next great book bags!

We were thrilled to be included in the Booktime scheme! My son was eager to open his book pack and wanted to read the books immediately. Both have already become favorites at our house. We love reading in our home and are immensely grateful for the new additions. Thank you!

The books are great and my daughter has loved carrying the bag around as well! I love the 'Family Reading Week' and have that ready to do for our 'school time' next week.
