Who reviews books for kids?
- Librarians review books and you know they’re not making any money from their recommendations. They review picture books for kids, nutrition books for kids, books for kids and teens, the whole enchilada of books.
- www.educationoasis.com - Teachers review books for children. Here's an excellent, not-for-profit site for teachers (and moms of course) that offers a wide range of book reviews for childrens books.
- Childrens book publishers review books for children knowing they've published an outstanding book you'll buy and love. We can sometimes be biased when we review our own books.
- Readers of kids and childrens books often share reviews at Amazon.com. Ninety five (95%) of the time, the reviews are unbiased with no financial motive. (That's my guess).
- Independent reviewers offer book reviews for kids books. We love reading and sharing books that they know in their hearts and minds kids will enjoy and benefit from.
I decided to do book reviews for childrens books 'cause I’ve started reading childrens and kids books again.
It’s a hoot, some of the books I’ve found thus far.
These are recommended books for kids that I recommend, because they meet my simple criteria: they’re inspirational and they empower kids on their journey through life (as well, they’re FUN!).
The first two are friendship books for children.
- Zen Shorts by John J. Muth, Ages 4-8.
I purchased Zen Shorts (after reading it at the library) from Amazon and sent it to my niece’s son for the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays.A friendly panda bear with a panda accent teaches 3 kids major life lessons through three simple stories. Straight to the heart of kids.
Beautiful illustrations by the author concretize each message the author imparts, especially those dealing with the true meaning and importance of friendship.
- Here’s a review in the category of cat books for kids.
Just Like Heaven by Patrick McDonnell, ages 4-8.Mooch the cat falls asleep under a tree and fog rolls in, covering everything. Mooch awakes uncertain where he is and discovers, well, I'll let you read the book itself to see what he discovers.
Gentle story accompanied by simple graphics with profound messages expressed in few words makes this an outstanding story for young folks and adults whose kid spirit is alive and well.
I'll be adding more book reviews for childrens books regularly.
- Bridge to Terabithia (Paperback) by Katherine Paterson (Author), Donna Diamond (Illustrator) Ages 9 and older
What a powerful story about Jess, a fifth grade boy wanting to be the fastest runner in his grade, and Leslie, a tom girl who moves into the area and beats him at running, then the two become best of friends.
They build a magical kingdom in the woods called Terabithia, and become King and Queen of it. Leslie opens Jess to a strange, unknown world as the friendship deepens.
When tragedy strikes, the reader feels the powerful impression Leslie has made upon Jess.
Definitely a book that provides inspiration empowering children (and adults as well).
