Crate Expectations is your child's personal book-club-in-a-box!

Yes, you read that right. An actual book club! For kids ages 8-12!

We believe that reading isn't just about the book but about the ADVENTURE! A book club is a great way to share that adventure -- either as a family or at a monthly book club meeting with friends. Our crates are designed to build confidence, connection, and imagination!

Each month, subscribers will receive :

A high-quality book for young readers age 8-12
Educational (and FUN) games or toys, specially curated to pair with the book
A bookish snack to enjoy while reading

PLUS our Book Club ADVENTURE GUIDE featuring:

An EXCLUSIVE author interview
A book-related STEM activity and supplies
Recipe and menu ideas inspired from the book
Book club discussion questions
Recommendations for further reading

We know how important reading is. We also know how busy life as a parent is. That's why our crates include EVERYTHING you need!

All you have to do is open the box and unlock your imagination!

The theme for our 2023 Holiday box is

"Rags to Riches"

You never know where a wish will take you in this wondrously whimsical story about giving (and getting) more than you bargained for.

After spending an unexpected Christmas with his classmate, a young boy discovers that -- while he may not be part of the family -- he’s definitely a part of their adventures!
