Book Reviews by Kids
Inspired by a young book enthusiast,
this is a safe space for students to share
their reviews of books I recommend either on
my Multicultural Books section or social media.
Book reviews will be posted on a monthly basis.
Guidelines
- Choose a book recommended on either Charlotte Mason City Living or my social media.
- Give a short summary of the story.
- Tell why you enjoyed it. (Feel free to include what you may have disliked as well.)
- Include at least one quote you liked from the book.
- Should be in your own words and not copied from the book unless it's a quote. (Oral narration typed by parent is accepted.)
- The review can be handwritten but please email me a typed document. (Parents: I know this is challenging but please try not to edit their writing so it's as authentic as possible.)
- Take a picture of the original writing next to the book to send along with the document. (You can use the first picture below of I, Juan de Pareja as an example.)
