Quick note

I am the owner of the company that runs Kidsreads.com. Amazon and other buy links were removed from the site earlier this year thus kids can visit with their parents at ease about that. There is content there for kids of younger ages, but we feel 6-12 year olds enjoy it best. By the way, of course I gave it five stars, but had to rate it to get my message about ecommerce put there!

What’s It About?

Aside from the informative book reviews and previews of upcoming releases, KIDSREADS.COM features a selection of new titles along with a plot synopsis and occasionally an excerpt from the book. If kids are interested in a particular author, they can find interviews with many well-known writers as well as a list of books each has written. Other sections include New in Paperback; Books into Movies; Series (devoted entirely to series books); and for older kids, a page about starting and running a book club. Kids can also write to some of their favorite authors, take part in polls, answer the questions, exercise their brains by playing word puzzles and trivia games about books, and check out links to other sites of interest to young readers.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
