All book reviews are enabled for comments, and this site will significantly benefit from more informed perspectives.  Please comment on titles and topics that interest you, and help build momentum for conversation.

Buy Books Through the Blog

If you plan to buy a book that I have reviewed from Amazon.com, please click the link in my review so I can receive 1% of your purchase price.

Donate a Book

If your family has benefited from this site, please consider buying a book for our children. The cost of maintaining this site is equal to our book budget, and our family would benefit from your generosity. Below is a list of books that we would love to receive.

Contribute Reviews

There are considerably more good books for children than I can possibly review.  If you would like to contribute reviews, please contact me to introduce yourself, and let me know what kind of books you are interested in reviewing.

Provide Technical Expertise

This site is hosted on WordPress, to which my husband and I are newbies, and we are regularly running up against technical challenges.  Our current challenges are:

  • Customizing the AZIndex plugin that generates most of my “browse by” pages so that it will ignore the articles ‘a’, ‘an’, and ‘the’ (or finding a better plugin).
  • Customizing the AZIndex plugin (or finding a better one) so illustrators can be displayed simultaneously with primary authors.  Currently my index displays only primary author, so although Felicia Bond illustrated several books by Laura Joffe Numeroff, she does not appear in the author index.
  • Customizing the AZIndex plugin (or finding a better one) so I can display star ratings alongside titles.
