Product Description
Babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers select books to read by looking at their covers. bigbooklittlebookcardboardbox allows children to independently flick through their books and select the ones they want (you!) to read.
A divider separates big books and little books, so all can be viewed. The low front means babies can easily see inside, thus more likely to choose a book over another activity.
Popular with parents, home-educators, childminders, nurseries & schools, the box can be decorated with paint, collage or wallpaper. Boxes are despatched daily and delivered fully assembled, ready for you to fill with your little ones' favourite books as soon as they arrive!
Press reviews
"We all know that babies love rummaging through books and choosing which cover to chew first. We know, too, that the more accessible the books, the more likely children are to develop a love of reading. But unless you feel like investing in a library-style book storage system, keeping picture books in order is a nightmare. The Big Book Little Book Cardboard Box holds up to 30 disparate-sized books, and its baby-crawling-height front is sturdy enough to withstand the weight of more adventurous readers"
Telegraph Magazine
"It's a brilliant, inexpensive storage box for kids' books, which keeps them tidy and allows children to look easily through their collection. It's eco-friendly and kids can decorate it themselves - genius."
Guardian Weekend Magazine
"Who would have thought such a simple, obvious idea as a cardboard box could change your quality of life. But it does"

"I was amazed at how strong it is....to test it out I tried standing on the sides - quite a balancing act I can tell you and not to be recommended! But it took my weight so should stand up to the rigours of a variety of children using it over a long time"

This a great item for young children, its not expensive, very sturdy, much better than I thought it would be, comes already made not flat packed, would definitely purchase another if needed and recommend to others, love it!

We now have two of these boxes for both our toddler (age 3) and his older brother (age 6). They both love having their own special book case that they can put they're own choice of books in and flick through whenever they want. Both boys have loved decorating their boxes - our oldest has made it into a football pitch! This 'mumtreprenure' has definatley put a lot of thought into this high quality product. I couldn't recommend it more!

The box arrived all ready made up and I was surprised at how rigid and sturdy it was. My daughter enjoyed sorting her books in to 'big' and 'little' books and helped me put them into the box. She can flick trough them easily and likes to pretend she is at the library and choosing a book. We got the 40+ books in that were in the bedroom, I am so impressed that I have just ordered a second one for all her books that are cluttering up the lounge. Much more portable than a bookshelf, can't wait to get decorating it. Brilliant!

Feel like a fool for paying for a cardboard box!
This is my own fault I think but in essence I have just paid £12 for a cardboard box and I am pretty disappointed.
