How to choose your WellRead subscription

Start with who it's for

Choose a subscription for yourself or someone else. If you're sending a gift, you can select a gift subscription during purchase.

Choose your subscription type

Select an ongoing subscription if you'd like books to continue each month. You can manage, skip, or cancel at any time through your account.
Choose a prepaid gift subscription (3, 6, or 12 months) if you're gifting for a set period.

How many should I order?

Most readers only need one subscription per person.
If you're purchasing for multiple people, we recommend placing separate orders, with a different email address, so each subscription can be managed individually.
Choosing a quantity of 2 or more on this page sends that many copies of the same month's book – it doesn't send different titles.

Confirm your details

Add your delivery information, include an optional message if gifting, and complete checkout.

From there, each book is thoughtfully selected and prepared for the next available delivery.

Kids Book Subscription (0-6 years)

What’s included each month?

Each delivery includes one carefully selected book, along with reading notes and a letter explaining why it was chosen.

Every title is thoughtfully curated from new literary releases—both local and international—with a focus on quality, discovery, and lasting reading experiences.

The reading notes are designed to deepen the experience, whether enjoyed personally or shared in a book club setting.

How does delivery work?

Books are carefully packaged and sent at the start of each month, with most deliveries arriving within the first week.

When you subscribe, your first book will be prepared for the next available delivery—often the upcoming monthly selection.

If a selected title is tied to a future release date, delivery may follow shortly after publication.

Shipping is calculated at checkout and starts from $5.

Billing & subscriptions

Subscriptions are charged on the 20th of each month.

You can choose a monthly or every-other-month delivery. With an ongoing subscription, you can skip a month, adjust your delivery frequency, or cancel at any time through your account.

If you need any help managing your subscription, feel free to contact us—we’re always happy to assist.

Can I gift this subscription?

Yes — we offer prepaid gift subscriptions designed specifically for gifting.

You can explore our gift options here: Gift Subscriptions

When purchasing a gift, you’ll be able to include a personal message and choose when the gift is sent.

Gift subscriptions are prepaid for a set period, creating a thoughtful experience that begins when the recipient redeems their gift.

What if I’ve already read the selected book?

We carefully select new and notable releases to minimise the chance of this happening.

If you’ve already read the book, many customers choose to pass it on—sharing the experience with a friend, family member, or fellow reader.

As each selection is curated in advance, we don’t typically offer exchanges. If something doesn’t feel quite right, please contact us and we’ll do our best to assist.

What’s included

  • One thoughtfully selected hardback picture book each month, or at the frequency chosen (recommended for kids aged 0-6 years).
  • Reading notes to spark conversation and imagination.

How does it work?

  • Our book selections represent the most exciting and delightful new releases that will appeal to readers big and small. We guarantee that kids will love them and adults will approve of them.
  • Expect wonderful reading experiences with vibrant colours, diverse themes, inspirational characters, stories rich in imagination and heart, and maybe even a few farts thrown in for a bit of levity - all of the things kids want from good books.
  • Subscribe by the first week of the month to receive our latest selection. Orders placed after the 7th will receive the following month's book. You can expect your book to arrive at the start of the month.
  • After the first payment, your preferred payment method will be charged on the 20th of each month for the following month’s selection. You will receive a confirmation email when the payment has been processed.
  • Skip or cancel at any time. 

Who will love this subscription

  • Kids (and adults) who appreciate a certain quality and integrity in their books. Think vibrant illustrations, big morals, stories rich in imagination and heart.
  • Big people wanting to connect with their small people through the magical act of reading.
  • Anyone sick of reading that same book for the one-thousandth time.
  • Kids who require 10 books before bedtime.
  • Kids who need a little encouragement to read more.
  • Budding bibliophiles wanting to stay abreast of the most exciting new releases in kid’s publishing.
  • Newborns looking to build their dream library.
  • People who go to a ludicrous number of birthday parties and need a healthy supply of gifts on hand (only every single parent).

    The kids were not a fan of this book. It is rather cute but wasn't a hit.
