Within the last week, two grandparents from opposite ends of the country e-mailed to say that they regularly buy books for their grandchildren based on my reviews. Of course, I’m very flattered. But more than that, their selfless acts of generosity are an inspiring testimony to the value these grandparents place in reading and helping their grandchildren connect with books they will enjoy.

Because the goal is to help children foster an interest in reading, it’s essential to put the best books in front of the child. That’s what these two grandparents are doing, and that’s precisely what you’ll find here every week, only the cream-of-the-crop in children’s literature.
