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.)

Thank you for giving children a dedicated space to share their reviews (or shall I say, their narrations )
