Welcome to an adventure in reading!

I know there are a lot of people out there, kids and adults, who say they aren't readers. I however, think that there is a reader in all of us. It's just a matter of finding the right book at the right time. In my two years as an elementary school librarian, I have seen firsthand what the right book can do for a child. It's amazing to see a student find a love for reading that previously didn't exist.

I thought this would be a great place to showcase some books for kids (specifically the Pre-K through 6th grade range). I will be posting things such as literary reviews, my own reviews (when I have time to actually read a book), kids reviews and other fun stuff about new books, old books, cool authors and illustrators and other random reading information that kids will like.

It will be a family friendly site that the kids can enjoy. I will include all types of books: fiction and non-fiction, picture books, chapter books, cookbooks, fun books, serious books, graphic novels, scary books and silly books. You name it, I'll try to get it on there.

In the meantime, it's a work in progress, so add it to your list of favorite blogs and join the adventure in reading.
