My 7yo, Rosie, has been getting the Tales by Mail book boxes for a few months now and I figured it was about time we shared an unboxing! Before we get started, here's a quick recap of the August theme: Our August theme is THE STRANGER, THE BETTER and will be jam-packed with brilliantly brave, awesomely oddball characters, who are made all the better by being a little bit different! 🐙🤖 This box will include two new novels about eccentric characters on amazing adventures, themed surprises and collectable pages for your "Chronicle Files", including letters from the authors, quizzes, review cards and more! 📚 ABOUT THE BOOKS! BOOK ONE is a rip-roaring adventure about a young boy and his robot friend, who must save their doomed island from a terrible disaster! Can they conquer mechanical monsters, navigate an island dominated by nature and trust in new strange but brilliant friends to pull off a rescue mission like no other? 🤖🌴 BOOK TWO is set in a fabulously fishy town, where a young girl who loves telling stories discovers an extraordinary new friend. When she returns to shore with tales of a tentacled boy, she's met with disbelief, but the strangest thing about her new claw-clad buddy isn't his aquatic appearance... Together, this unlikely duo will uncover the truth about a secret that has long been buried at sea. 🐙 Okay, let's see what was inside! As always, there will be spoilers beyond this point so look away now if you don't want to see what's inside this box. A staple in every Tales by Mail box are these fun, collectible chronicle pages. There's the artwork, a letter from each featured author, space to leave a review for each featured book and an activity card, usually containing a quiz or sometimes craft ideas that build on the theme of the book. This month, the box also contained a set of stickers matching the theme art, which were a big hit. Rosie loves stickers!!
Now, let's take a look at the books. There are two this month!
Rosie is really excited to read Tentacle Boy. She loves how strange and fun it sounds. I'm more interested in Crowfall, but I think we're going to enjoy snuggling up with both of these books and listening to the monthly podcast afterwards. As always, there are also a couple of bookmarks in the box (pictured below). Overall, Rosie really enjoyed this box but is hoping for one or two bigger items next time around!
Thanks for checking out the unboxing! Comments are closed.
