We undertake an extensive process to identify books that bring together great stories, have beautiful illustrations, and are sure to spark your child’s imagination. We start by compiling a list of all the books that relate to our theme and review each and every one – often hundreds each month!

Our final selection includes input from two experts: a children’s librarian and a highly accomplished children’s author. Each month, we are looking to uncover two to three hidden treasures per club that are not already on your bookshelf and that showcase diverse perspectives on the theme.

We purposely don’t publicize the contents of upcoming boxes so the books are a surprise to both you and your little one!

The WobbleCaptain Club will feature three board books every month. CuriousCaptain Club members will receive either 2 or 3 picture books.

Our goal is to send you books that are not likely in your child’s library. However, if you already have one of our books, send us a picture of both of them at hello@storycaptainbooks.com and we’ll send you a coupon for your next renewal.

If you have children in both the board book and picture book age groups, we recommend subscribing to both our WobbleCaptain and CuriousCaptain clubs. This way, each child can enjoy age-appropriate books tailored to their developmental stage. As a bonus, we offer a special 15% discount for the duration of your subscription to both clubs! Simply email us to get the discount.

The WobbleCaptain club features board books and is generally appropriate for children between 0 and 3 years old. Children between the ages of 4 and 7 generally join the CuriousCaptain club, which will send you picture books every month. However, these are just guidelines as all children are unique. If you join and decide to make a change, we are happy to move your child into a different club partway through a subscription!

Absolutely! You can switch to a different club at any point during your subscription. Just send us an email indicating when you’d like to make the change, and we’ll take care of it for you.

StoryCaptain makes a great gift for many occasions- a new baby, a birthday or just because. Simply click on Give as Gift, select the club and term.

You don’t even need to know your recipient’s mailing address as we will ask them to input it after getting the notification email. Gift subscriptions do not renew.

After placing your order, your first box will be shipped within 3 business days. For subsequent boxes, they will be shipped either at the beginning or the middle of each future month.

We use USPS Media Mail- the delivery time can vary depending on your location, typically ranging from 2 to 8 business days in the continuous US. We’ll provide you with tracking information via email once your box is shipped so you can keep an eye on its progress.

Holiday orders: Ensure delivery by Christmas by placing your orders by December 14th.

At this time, we only ship within the United States. However, if you’re a fan and want us to expand to your country, please let us know at hello@storycaptainbooks.com

We understand if you need to cancel your subscription. To do so, simply send us an email at hello@storycaptainbooks.com before your next renewal, and we’ll take care of canceling your subscription for you.

Your subscription will renew on the anniversary of your initial order. So, for example, if you select a 6-month subscription, then your membership would renew 6 months from the date you placed the order. You can find your renewal date in your initial order email, or in the My Accounts page.

You can pause your subscription for a maximum of six months. Simply email us at hello@storycaptainbooks.com and we are happy to help!

We’re sure you’ll love our books, but if not, we have a refund policy: If you cancel a multi-month subscription early, we offer a refund for any unshipped months.
