Help me be the cool Uncle!

I'm looking for an ACTUAL book-of-the-month club, for children younger than ten, which serves the UK....

I want to be able to pre-select a number of books, prepay the whole shebang, and have them sent to my sister's children in London at intervals, like a subscription. My google skills have failed me here, as most book clubs I've found apparently will send a bunch at once, then hit you up to choose more later. This does not please me.

Scholastic Clubs will send until you tell them not to. They have lots of categories, from serious readers to artsy-craftsy stuff. Grolier seems to be their UK equivalent, but it looks like they're limited to Big Brand tie-ins, which is too bad.
