Great reviews!
I love seeing your reviews! I’ve found some interesting books for my kids (12 and 5) to enjoy.
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.
Love to see more inspirational book
We love to red, always lots of great ones to choose from here.
And the winner is … Monique S. (CA)! Congratulations. The prize pack will be on the way soon. Thank you so much to everyone that entered. We are feeling the love and have read all of your wonderful feedback.
