Children's Book Reviews Roundup

Family-Penned Children's Book Reviews

Picture This Post children’s book reviews are written by experts—namely, children and their parents!

We know children and adults experience books differently, and a good children’s book should be appealing to both the person being read to and the person reading out loud. With that in mind, most of these reviews come from parent/child teams, and all of these reviews seek to consider the book in question from both perspectives.

Excited About Children's Books? We are TOO!

Picture This Post loves books that make their readers both laugh and learn. Some things we find especially exciting:

Stories related to the arts (Theater, Dance, Painting, Music...)
Stories that center diverse voices and characters
Beautiful illustrations
