About
The Children’s Book Review, named one of the ALSC (Association for Library Service to Children) Great Web Sites for Kids, is a resource devoted to children’s literacy. We publish reviews and book lists of the best books for kids of all ages. We also produce author and illustrator interviews and share literacy based articles that help parents, grandparents, teachers and librarians to grow readers.
If you have ever had the pleasure of watching the amazement and enthusiasm of a child who has just learned something new, then you will appreciate these precious words from Dr. Seuss:
“The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
Please join us on our quest for literacy … remembering old favorites and searching for new ones.
