Bookstart
Bookstart aim to provide a free pack of books to every baby and toddler in the UK, to inspire, stimulate and create a love of reading that will give all children a real flying start in life. But most of all, we want to show that books are fun!
A baby pack is gifted to all babies at around 6 to 9 months and an early years pack to all toddlers at around two years old. Packs are gifted by Health Visitors.
If you haven't received a pack for your child please contact your Health Visitor or your local library.
