In an effort to help out other authors in one of my on line writers/readers group, I have offered to review some children's books. Why children's books?
Two reasons:
1) I have four children of my own and love how excited they get when a new book comes (well my 9 & 11 yr. olds anyway).
2) I have worked with children for years in private preschools and now in the public schools. This means I have many contacts in the child care and education fields with whom I can share all of these great new books.
What I offer is a review, which will be posted here, on IndieReaders.ning.com , on Amazon (or on whatever platform the book is distributed from), and I will talk about it on Twitter. That much I can guarantee will happen. What I also offer, but can not guarantee, is that I will share the books I review with the librarians, teachers, and child care workers that I have worked with. This will help to get word out about new children's books and may even lead to some sales.
In a recent post I shared Jane Lovascio's books, fundraiser, and charity information. She is the author of the new canine series, Casey and Bella. I had the pleasure of meeting Jane and her real life dogs, Casey and Bella at this years BEA in New York. Reviews for her books are coming soon. While there, I also met some other authors from her publisher, Big Tent Books. I will be reviewing their books as well. Looks like I will be busy for a while, but it's a good kind of busy.
With that said, let's start. Feel free to leave a comment about the books, especially if you have read it and want to share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Kristin :)
I love children's books (though my kids are all grown).
