Parcel contents shown is for example only and will vary. All items comply with national and international safety standards.

Books

Books for the parcels are carefully selected by an independent panel of experts each year. A range of different genres is included, such as: fairy tales, classic and contemporary stories, picture books, novelty/joke books, poetry, non-fiction and audio books.

The panel aims to select the most appropriate, best-written, illustrated and designed books for the parcels. This includes books that capture interest and imagination and that stimulate a dialogue between children and their carers/parents. The panel tries to select books that reflect the diversity of life in the UK.
