Founded and created by author Bianca
Schulze, The Children’s Book Review is a website filled with book reviews just
for children. The goal of this wonderful Internet resource is to provide
parents, educators, and students information about children’s literature to
help grow readers. The website was named one of the ALSC (Association For
Library Service To Children) great web sites for kids. A team of teachers,
editors, writers, and even web content providers help to keep information
current, organized, and useful for viewers.
One of the best features of the website is
that it includes reviews of many different types of children’s books. I like
that most of the books are current, which speaks to young readers and sparks
interest. In fact, there is a tab dedicated just for trending literature
subjects that we can explore. Along with that, the site showcases authors and
illustrators to spread awareness about new and upcoming writers and artists.
Books can be searched based on age, subject, and type. There is even a
directory that you can use to search for specific authors and illustrators.
Besides the book reviews, the website
offers additional literacy perks. You can read author and illustrator reviews
based on their books. In addition, there are opportunities to enter giveaway
contests just by filling in online entry forms. There are also tons of pictures
of the books that present great visual information.
The
Children’s Book Review is a wonderful website dedicated to young readers. It
offers new and trending literature information that is useful for classroom
instruction. These books can build motivation and interest for students. The
only thing I would say can improve is the content layout and navigation. I feel
that the presentation of the books and text can be better organized on the web
page for a stronger aesthetic. However, the website material is very much
valuable to readers and educators who are always looking for fresh and current
children’s literature.
