      My kids love to read books, especially reading, and viewing books on their tablets. My 5 yr old loves animals and insects, maybe add apps like story book games, challenges to help develop their brain more. Thank you for the chance.. Awesome giveaway.

      I think TCBR is wonderful! The book reviews are great and helps pick out which books are age appropriate for each child. Maybe add some fun trivia along with it too!

      I just started getting the CBR emails and I love them so far. I’m hoping to see lots of recommendations for early chapter books.

      This is an awesome website and I would like to see more of interacting with libraries in all corners of the USA. Funding is being cut and we need to support them as much as possible since reading is very crucial to understanding and accepting how things are in the world today.

      This is the best book review website for all book lovers, not only for kids and parents. I love especially trending subjects and enjoy to discover what you offers. It will be more fun to find the books tied up with movie.

      My 8 year old daughter loves to read. I have never seen a kid that enjoys it like she does. She is on A honor roll at school always. I would love to be able to reward her with such an awesome prize pack. Thanks for the chance!

      I LOVE your reviews. They’re super helpful. I have a sister that’s 9, niece that’s 9, nephew that’s 6, and son that’s 18 months, and it’s great knowing what is age appropriate.

      I usually only open when something catches my eye. With that said I have actually requested books from the library because of something I had seen here. That is pretty much what I like about this. There are so many childrens books out there and this narrows down the new ones pretty good for me.
