Kids know what they like when it comes to books. When I share some of my favorites with my grandsons, I can tell almost immediately if they are with me or not. Sometimes we don't even get past the first page. With other books, they want to hear them again and again.
Adults can write all of the reviews they want for children's books, but kids will probably get more from reviews recorded by their peers. CNN.com asked children what they thought about ten of the latest book releases for children and got some pretty honest answers. You can listen to the children review the books and can see that they are enjoying the process. What a great idea for teachers and librarians! Recording book reviews just seems like fun to me.
Another way to preview children's books page by page is at Lookybook. I found this unique link and more on Pat's (Successful Teaching) post Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom. The other links on Pat's post are definitely worth a look see!
My grandsons love this book. I think they'd like a mud washing machine of their own.
