Here’s the best part: the books are surprises. You don’t pick them. A committee of book nerds picks them for you. One month might be a classic like The Little Engine That Could. The next month? A weird story about a pizza-eating dragon. You never know.
Dolly’s program started in her home county in Tennessee. That was in 1995. Now? It ships to five countries and counting. It’s like a book army, but with glittery page corners.
Signing up is weirdly easy
You don’t need a secret handshake. You don’t even need to prove anything. Just go to the official website. Type in your zip code. If your area is registered, you’re in. Boom. Books incoming.
Wait, what if your area isn’t registered? Don’t panic. You might have to wait or advocate locally. But here’s a funny truth: Dolly’s team is desperate to get every kid involved. They’ll help you find a way.
You must fill out the form correctly. The exact address. The kid’s full name. This isn’t Amazon—they don’t call you if you typo. A wrong letter means a sad, empty mailbox.
