Wishlist

A shared book wishlist for your school — start a list, invite teachers and your Brain Hive rep to add to it, and turn it into one order when you're ready. We're building it now.

Overview

You know the books you want. We do the chasing.

A classroom runs on good books — the picture books for the rug, the read-aloud that anchors a unit, the chapter book kids fight over, the nonfiction that answers the question a textbook can't. Knowing which books you want was never the hard part. It's tracking them down across a dozen publisher portals — each with its own login, minimum, and ship date — that eats the afternoon.

That's the part we take off your plate. Send whatever you've got — a list of ISBNs, a wish list, a unit plan, or just a grade band and a budget — and we do the rest: find the titles, flag anything out of print and offer a stand-in for you to approve, and box it all up labeled by grade or teacher. One order, one invoice, ready to shelve.
