Their welcome packet is much better than the monthly packets that they send afterwards which costs around 300 kr. It’s really not worth it. Also I felt that they sre very fast in deducting the money f... See more

Scam! The welcome package says it's free of cost and we just need to pay for the shipping but once the free package is ordered (not even confirmed in my case), we got subscribed for monthly packages... See more
We love reading time! The books are amazing quality, great colours and my little girl 4,5m loves reading them with me and alone(soft books)! Highly recommended, worth every cent!

Foreign parent raising a child in…
Foreign parent raising a child in Sweden.
My Swedish language skills are quite modest (and that's being generous). Even so I signed up for a subscription with Goboken!
I myself find the books easy to read to my child and right now they're at the age where it's more about describing and feeling the pages than about the meaning of the text. The books are awesome! Each time (month) we had a favourite book and it lasted for months and months, rediscovering new details and new things of interests as they developed.
I usually read the text beforehand and then use it as a guide to explain the page/pictures to them.
I'm very happy with this service and would definitely recommend it to (first time) parents that don't have the time or the knowledge to look for age appropriate children's books.

Their customer service is really bad
Their customer service is really bad. I requested to cancel my membership however they sent me another two packages with the invoices.
First package I sent back which cost me postal charges 80SEK and same day I emailed them not to send another package however I got another one after few days with another invoice. I emailed them and asked, they said I am still an active member and if I don’t need the package then either I have to sent back or pay the invoice. That is something forcefully selling the products. Products are also very costly as compare to the items

Lovely books
Lovely books, good quality and variety. Especially the sound books, touch and feel and peka books. Also it is very nice to have a toy included once a while. Lovely touch.
