Every little pirate in Scotland will receive a small canvas bag full of exciting pirate themed contents, including a sturdy metal 'Treasure Chest' pencil case, filled with a variety of different writing and drawing tools, a bundle of postcards which can be used to tell friends and family about their adventures on the high seas, and 2 beautifully illustrated picture books!

P1 Book

During their first year at primary school, all children in Scotland will receive a free book with a message from Bookbug. This year’s chosen book, Manfred the Baddie, won first prize in the 0-7 age category of the Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children's Books.  With over 11,000 children voting in this age group, we are delighted to be gifting a book that really was the children's choice.
