      I love that The Children Book Review has a Books by Age Group!! I have a 4 year old daughter, almost 7 year old daughter, and an almost 14 year old son, and I love checking by age group to see what reviews I can find for books they may like:) I also love the actual reviews because I usually end up agreeing with them, so I can trust the reviews here!

      Books for toddlers to get them into reading. My nephew is about to be 2 and we are teaching him the sounds animals make. He loves looking at pictures of animals and feeling textures.
