About Book Pets

Book Pets have been lovingly created by a mum and vet nurse in New Zealand

The only multifunctional educational soft toy that holds, protects, and carries interchangeable books. With soft, realistic textures, tactile elements and a built-in bookmark to engage all learners - including neurodiverse children.

Each Book Pet is based on a real animal and carries a heart, symbolizing the positive connections and love of learning that animals inspire. Every character is unique, with their own personality, talents, and things they love - just like the children who read with them.

Supporting Learning & Behaviour

"Book Pets has the potential to augment the very real benefits of animal assisted learning while providing ongoing sensory support for positive reading experiences."

Fiona Harkness (MEd Hons), Kaiārahi for Resource Teachers: Learning & Behaviour (RTLB), Aotearoa

Reading is Fun Again

"My neurodivergent son lost confidence at school and reading became a real struggle. We introduced Monty to his reading routine and his face lit up as he was able to pat Monty's head while he read and loved the tactile feel of the fabric. Reading time is now a real enjoyable experience for him!"

Laura - Mum

I Love My Book Pet

"I love my Book Pet because she keeps me company when I read and I love using her tail as a pointer."

Lucy - 8 years old
