About

Is there anything more magical than receiving a letter from someone you care about far away? You read that letter again and again, realizing they took a fair bit of time to sit down and think about you as they wrote it. 

James, the founder of Magic Pen Pal, started his relationship with his wife as a pen pal. He was living in the United States and she was in Australia. 

James and Emily now have three little children and are home-schooling them. Reading is the foundation of their curriculum. Learn to love reading, and you can learn about anything else you love! Strong literacy is an invaluable gift to give your children or grandchildren. 

We mail magical letters to your young reader each month introducing them to the whimsical and wonderful worlds of classic children's books. Watch your child discover the joy of Neverland, Narnia, Oz, Wonderland, Wonka's Factory, and beyond. These personalized letters are written from the perspective of either Cliff Hanger, a folksy cowboy on a quest to find and capture elusive, mystical creatures or Rita Storrie, a clever detective following a puzzling trail of clues to stop a mysterious villain. Sign up for a monthly subscription or give the gift of a whole year of adventure letters (with an annual subscription discount).

 

The letters are illustrated, humorously written, and accompanied by little, whimsical treasures - stickers, temporary tattoos, puzzles, mazes, maps, pictures, and other souvenirs related to that month's book. After reading each letter, your child will be eager to dive into the original classic book to find out the REST of the story.

 

Magic Pen Pal is about so much more than the thrill of snail mail - we want to help you foster the love of reading with your child for the rest of their life!
