About the Prize Pack
TCBR Original “Growing Readers Print
Lauren O’Hara has created a commemorative illustration that honors 12 years of The Children’s Book Review’s mission of growing readers. This beautiful illustration highlights the power books can have in bringing young readers together and allowing them to escape within their imaginations. Books can inspire, relieve stress, connect us with nature, provide a wealth of knowledge, and so much more!
LAUREN O’HARA is an illustrator from the north of England. As a child, she loved reading fairy tales, painting insects, and listening to her grandmother’s stories. She studied art and illustration at Kingston University, then designed window displays and props for films. Her career as an illustrator began when she and her sister, Natalia, worked together on a picture book, Hortense and the Shadow. This was published in 2017, followed in 2018 by The Bandit Queen, and then Sophie Dahl’s Madame Badobedah in 2020. Lauren O’Hara currently lives in a converted church in Dublin, Ireland, with her partner, their cat Ida, and assorted ghosts.

I personally find the children’s book review site so well thought out, informative and entertaining. Before I found the children’s book review site I had to browse through Amazon to find suitable books for my grandkids. Once I found it I knew this was the one stop for book finds. You see the dedication put into it. Love the Author info, and interviews as well as all the Authors I hadn’t known before. So many books to be found.
And the chance to win one is great, especially with so many grandkids and limited budgets. So I thank Bianca for all the time and effort she puts into the children’s book review.
I love the new books that I learn about
I love that our kids can browse the site with me and pick out the books they want to get from the library or purchase for their own libraries. They are both book lovers. We have read to them until they learned to read for themselves and they both love a wide variety of topics. By staying current on your site, we are constantly discovering new authors and genres that we love.
I love learning about the newest children’s books,
Happy Birthday! This is one of my favorite sites for discovering new books!
Great giveaway!
This has become one of my go-to sites for ordering new books, as well as learning about new authors and illustrators. A great resource for many reasons.
The wonderful selection, reviews, features and giveaways. Perfect for my 4 grandchildren.
I really enjoy being introduced to new authors and illustrators. They’re such interesting people and so talented. Thanks.
I love the sharing of stories that I’d never find on my own!
The thing I l enjoy the most about THE CHILDREN’S BOOK REVIEW is the chance to not only learn about different authors and their books, but also to win books and other prizes. THE CHILDREN’S BOOK REVIEW site is a fun site to go to in order to take a break from the more serious news of the day.
I like reading the reviews and seeing what the books look like, especially the illustrations. When ordering books online, it’s often hard to know what the book really looks like, if it’s too wordy, how well it’s illustrated, or what kind of message is in the book’s story. This site does a good job of relaying that information.
I like the variety of books you showcase. They are all different but very interesting.
I love that I can come here to find books for all 3 of my kids! They are in different age groups and have different interests. Your wonderful site makes that part of parenting easier!! Thank you for all you do and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I like the children’s book review because it introduces me to so many new authors my kids enjoy.
What I like most is that it not only tells me about the books, but where I can buy them. While Amazon is the default for most titles, our family prefers to use other stores, so I like that you tell me where else I can go.
I have a four year old grandson who we are trying to teach to read. He has love books forever and points to pics and names what they are so now we are going to try reading words. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fab prize.
