Bookbug Pirate Pack
For three-year-olds
The Bookbug Pirate Pack has been designed to support your child’s love of books and to encourage their first attempts at writing and drawing.
The pirate theme captures the sense of adventure and excitement felt by every child when they snuggle up with you and open the pages of a new story (or an old favourite!)
We hope that Bookbug Pirate will help you to give your child a lifelong love of books.
Where can I collect my free Bookbug Pirate Pack?
The Bookbug pirate pack is gifted to your child at the age of three via their early years setting i.e. pre-school, playgroup or nursery.
If your child does not attend an early years setting, please visit the Local Contacts section of this website for further information about how you can collect a pack in your area.
Please note that you do not have to register or join the library to receive your Bookbug Pirate pack.
