It’s official! The Children’s Book Review has been publishing book reviews, book lists, author and illustrator interviews, book trailer videos, reading tips, and more for two years! To celebrate our “blogiversarie” we are giving away a library of children’s books selected just for our winner, valued at over $100.
Before we get into the giveaway details, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to TCBR over the last two years. Congratulations to Amanda Lynch, a regular contributor, who just became a mommy. And, last but not least, extra special thanks go to Erik Schulze and Luisa LaFleur, who have helped me from the beginning—thanks for your continuing contributions towards “Growing Readers”—you guys are the best!

What a wonderful prize! Happy anniversary!
The Children’s Book Review is such a great resource for teachers and parents. Now that I am in an office most of the day I miss reading to children more than anything. I always loved sharing favorite books and discovering new authors and illustrators. TCBR is the bright spot in my email. Thanks for this labor of love!
Wow! Thanks for your kind words. I think I can go on blogging, now.
🙂
I almost forgot – please include me in the prize contest! Thanks again
Winning a library of books is like winning a treasure chest of gold, because like gold, a book never loses its value. Generation to generation, each book’s words continues to bestow joy upon the reader and the artwork puts an instant smile upon the face. What is life without a book in the hands?
Nicely said!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We always love more books.
Awesome! Bring those books my way, please.
I’m a soon to be teacher and a library would be awesome!!!
Congratulations on becoming a teacher!
Oh! My daughter – the one who, instead of a cuddly buddy at the age of three had to have a box of books on her toddler bed before she could go to sleep – would LOVE to win some books!! She is now 8 and STILL wants to be a librarian like Mommy!! I recently “made” her donate a bunch of her books to our public library, and she’s made it very clear that there is now PLENTY of space for us to put new books. 🙂
I love it! Good on her!

Congratulations…The Children’s Book Review! Instilling a love for reading at an early age is the most important thing you can do for an eager, learning child.
Reading Really Rocks, and I love watching children light up as they find genre’s that interest them. Rock on!
