The only way I think this could be better is if you post MY name as the winner! Other than that…… ๐
I would love to win this kindle to enrich my classroom!
Would love to win.
It’s a great post & giveaway, thanks so much for offering it.
I would love this! this is a wonderful giveaway.
I can’t imagine what you could do to improve the site. I discovered TCBR about 4 years ago when I became our library’s full-time story lady and it is one of my go-to sites when I’m looking for book recommendations.

Very good information.
I’m nee to this site and so far, I love the giveways and the book reviews here. O think this site helps me a lot in what books I should read especially because I love Children’s books. ๐
I love that I find out about so many books that I would never know about without you! I love all the info and great tips!
I have been entering this contest for 10 days and it still says I have only 3 entries. I click the free daily entry button too. How is this possible? I also click the bring friends button. Still only 3 entries.
The amount of entries refreshes each day. So it sounds as though you have been accumulating 3 entries each day that you enter. If you have been entering for 10 days, you would most likely have 30 entries by now.
Very nice site to find some great books for children. I am glad I found out about it.
I love getting reviews of books that I can get my foster son to read.
Book Review is a treasure for parents, teachers and book lovers of all kinds.

I just found Children’s Book Review, and I am glad I did. I have two granddaughters who read books on Kindle, and I frequently send books to their Kindles. Many times, I am confused on what would be good for them age/grade/interest wise.

I love to figure out just what my kids would love to read next ๐
NO improvements really- and thanks a lot for the giveaway!

I love The Children’s Book Review because I find great new books to add to my daughter’s little library here!
Awesome review I like the fact you got straight to the point and that you put the Technical Details graph in there for people to look at. When I shop for anything that’s the first thing I got to because Im a busy mom sometimes I don’t have time to read long boring paragraphs. Thanks for the chance to play I would love to use this and share it with my teenage daughter
I love being able to find suitable books for my kids and for gifts in one place.
I like the reviews and finding great books for my granddaughter!
Love the site!
Seriously can’t think of anything to improve. Amazing, informative site! ๐
