Wilf Books Subscription Service




Recently I came across WILF books and got a chance to try out their subscription service. Blake really loves us reading to him as well as looking through books on his own and babbling away to himself. The 3 books that we were sent are great for his age and interests. We had a book based on sharing, Peppa Pig fun at the fair and Elmer's weather. 

When you first sign up you will be asked to fill in a survey so that they know more about your child such as their age, interests and what type of books they love to read.Your books will than be delivered to your door on the 1st of each month. 

Here is a handy guide on how WILF books works:



When it comes to signing up for a subscription you opt for a monthly, 3 month or 6 month subscription. When Blake's subscription arrived I loved that it was addressed to him with a little note inside for him on a postcard. 

The books: 

Share!
This is a great little book about sharing. Blake is at an age where I am trying to get him used to sharing toys etc when we are out and about with friends or at places where he needs to interact with other children. 

Peppa Pig fun at the fair
A book about going to the fair - Blake seemed to love the story although I was a bit put off with one of the sentences in the book which I personally thought was a bit sexist. 

Elmers Weather
Blake has an Elmer book already but not this one. I love that it tells you about all different types of weather to help kids with learning and with such a lovable character.  




Overall I feel the subscription is a fab idea as children love books and the service provides you with books suitable for your child's age and interests. It's great that your child gets it sent in their name and they get a personal note for them in the box. 

The little boy who lost his name

I have always been a big reader, I love going to the library and picking out a book or two to take out and read. 
I also have a collection of books at home that I love,although not a huge collection I still have a fair good 
amount that I love to read again and again.

Reading to me is very important for children. 
Although Blake is 6 months old and far too little to read himself I have been reading to him
since he was a few days old.

I am also a fan of personalized items as you probably know by now if you read my blog frequently. 
So a book that is personalized especially for Blake is right up my street. 


The Little Boy Who Lost His Name opens as a child wakes, to discover their name is missing from their wardrobe door. 
They then set off on a quest to find it, meeting bears, mermaids, narwhals and other creatures, depending on the letters which make up their name.

I adore this book and I think that it makes an amazing keepsake for years to come.
This book will certainly be an item I'll putting in Blake's keepsake box so that he can look back on it when he is older. 



I showed Blake's Granny and Grandpa the book and they both said that 
they thought it is an ideal gift for a newborn. 

I love how the story is cleverly done to spell out Blake's name so that when he is older
I know he is going to have lots of fun listening/reading this book. 


The book is ideal for boys and girls as their is also a girls version the little girl who lost her name. 
One of things I would love to see in the future would be the possibility of being able to personalize the character to look like your child to give them an even more fun experience. 


What do you think of this book? Do you think it's something that your child will love?
