If you are a Premium Member, we encourage you to share your opinions, both favorable and unfavorable.
We welcome your honest opinions about children's literature. Don't be afraid to say what you think about the book!
Your knowledge and passion will help other people to discover what a book is really about.

DESIRED
Relevant. Write about the actual book. Don't meander off-topic.
Give details. Go beyond generalities. Focus on the specific aspects of the book that are important to you.
Include "why." Go beyond like or dislike, and share your rationale.
Length. Reviews that actually get read are usually 75 to 500 words long.
Focused. Review only one book per review.
Comparisons. Compare the book to other similar books.
Creativity. Children's literaure is creative. It is fine for your review to be creative too!
