Zoobean, who kindly sent me this package to review, is a monthly subscription service which helps you build your individual child’s literacy with remarkable children’s books and apps selected just for him or her. You may select from a monthly book delivery service (from $9.99/month) that gives you one hardcover or paperback book each month, along with an app recommendation + literacy guides or a digital service option (from $2.99/month) and receive weekly personalized app + book recommendations that come with literacy guides.
This package is for WB who is 2 years old. I also receive one for L, but it’s not here yet this month.
Zoobean ships via USPS Media Mail. Sometimes packages arrive in just a few days. Sometimes they take over a week.
The Book
WB’s book select this month was “The Pout-Pout Fish” (which is selling for $10.95 on Amazon right now). It’s super cute and L right away wanted to read it. WB? He wasn’t in the mood. The illustrations are awesome and we don’t have this one, so it was a great fit!
The App
The App selected for us this month (they actually send a few recommendations throughout the month, but this was the first one for June) was “Tino the Triangle – Book & Peekaboo” which I am super excited about because it’s FREE! It’s also fun and a new one for WB which is awesome. I said it last month, but I would love to somehow request apps that are $0.99 or $1.99. Free ones are even better though!
The Zoobean plan I received is $14.95, which includes the monthly hardcover book + the digital reading guide + the app selection and app companion. The book itself is nearly $14 on Amazon, so you are basically getting all those other goodies for about $1! If you are interested in just the Digital Service, it’s $2.99/month and you will receive a Receive a weekly email that includes an expert created Reading Guide or App Companion along with a book or app recommendation. And then you can pick up the book at the bookstore or borrowing it from your local library!

Pout pout fish book is my 18 month old daughter’s favorite book. I signed up for their app/ book suggestions, and have been disappointed in the selection so far for my daughter, but I have enjoyed the selection for WB. The choices they make are too young for her.
I wonder if you could age her up and see what you get? WB has been getting some good picks!
i LOVE pout pout fish. my niece and nephew practically had that thing memorized before they could SPEAK. they knew it. they loved it. it was, for a LONG time, the only story they wanted you read to them.
i also like the gruffalo, small saul, dirtball pete, kiki’s blankie, and the magical mystical marvelous coat.
I have never heard of any of those books! I need to look into them all!
