Title: Kidsreads
Creators: Various members of the Book Report Network
Age range: 8-12
Assessment: This is a great place for kids of any age to find out about their favorite books, series and authors. Kids (and kids at heart) can get some great book recommendations here as well, the book synopses make each book exciting. I wonder though whether the publishers of the website only make good reviews, and if so -does this reflect the quality of the book?
The site is a kid friendly place, where the content and language assumes a child audience.
My favorite part of this site besides the book recommendations and reviews, is the Book clubs link. There is helpful information about starting book clubs along with book club reading suggestions and questions.
Some of the sites currently appear under construction, but the site is certainly still browseable and helpful. The best part is that aside from the links for parents or teachers and librarians, each page is written for children.
