My little book bee was so excited to come home to her very first I Can Read! Book Club box today!! For all my mommy friends: I highly recommend all of the "I Can Read!" book series. The stories are short enough to keep them intrigued, but also feature super fun and popular characters they will already know."

I am so thrilled that my girls prefer to read books on their own more and more each day. I Can Read! Book Club has helped them transition from picture books to early reader books smoothly."

– Paid Partner

Before I Can Read! Book Club, we had a hard time finding Maddi books that were age-appropriate. Either the books were too easy, or they talked about concepts that were not fitting for a six-year-old. I Can Read! Book Club prevents us from struggling to consistently find new books for her to read!"
