We don't do stars...
We don't do thumbs...
We read children's books and grade them in 10 categories:
literary quality
plot
voice
originality
descriptive ability
humor (if attempted)
illustrations (if present)
believability of characters
believability of situations
overall reading enjoyment
There is no grading curve. There are no points for classroom participation. There is no extra credit.
If you disagree, come speak to us after class.

The Book Reporters
We humbly present this blog in the hope that it will be of assistance to:
I. parents, teachers, librarians, store owners and curious individuals in their book-selecting experience
II. authors, both unpublished and published, in honing their critiquing abilities and providing an honest assessment of their work
III. book editors and publishers, to honor them for publishing things that are great, and to express our wonderment that the bad ones ever got to see the light of day
